Connecticut LGBT rights group 'Love Makes a Family' announced yesterday that its education and lobbying arms would disband in nine months but it would retain its Political Action Committee:
"And that, say its supporters, is a good thing. 'We accomplished our core purpose,' Anne Stanback, executive directorof Love Makes a Family, said Wednesday, 'and we want to end on a highnote.' Surrounded by supporters and standing next to a large photograph of twomen in tuxedos slicing a wedding cake, Stanback announced the group'sdecision to dissolve at year's end. It will still maintain a politicalaction committee to support certain candidates. Formed in 1999 to push for legislation permitting same-sex couples toadopt children, the group quickly became the public face of themovement to win what it calls 'marriage equality' for gays and lesbians. Its major victory came in October, when the state Supreme Court ruledin a landmark case that denying marriage to same-sex couples violatestheir constitutional rights."
