New Haven (WTNH) - As gay couples in Connecticut celebrate the right to marry, they also rallied against the reversal of gay marriage in California.

Demonstrations in New Haven and Hartford are part of the fight against Proposition 8. The measure, which voters in California passed on Election Day, denies marriage to same sex couples.

Until that vote, gay couples in California had the right to marry based on a Supreme Court ruling.

Protestors say the recent vote in California is discriminators, but opponents say marriage should only be between a man and a woman.
