Greenwich becoming Connecticut’s gay marriage capital

Proximity to New York may be making Greenwich the capital of gay marriage in the area, just as it made Greenwich the Powerball Mecca a few years back.

Since Nov. 12, when a state judge gave the final go-ahead for gay marriage, 26 same-sex couples have been married in Greenwich. That is more than the number married in any of the state’s four largest cities, according to data obtained from vital records officials. Seven gay marriages have taken place in Bridgeport; 16 in Hartford, 17 in Stamford and 20 in New Haven. Of the couples married in Greenwich, all but two were from out of state. Fifteen came from the New York City area; three from Long Island; two from Westchester County; one from New Jersey; and one each from Chicago, North Carolina and Kentucky.

Chicago, North Carolina and Kentucky?

I take it back. At this rate Greenwich may become the Las Vegas of gay marriage.
