Married Couples Visiting Connecticut on Sunday; Pay Attention

Massachusetts isn't the only state that has bizarre laws. Connecticut has some strange laws, too. There is one that you may want to be aware of if you are going to visit the Constitution State, particularly on a Sunday. According to various internet sources, it's illegal for two people who are married to kiss in public on Sunday in Connecticut. Now, while at first glance, this law may seem strange or a bit strict, it kind of makes sense. Think about it, most of these weird laws are blue laws that were signed many years ago, in many cases, hundreds of years ago. The website KKC Law explains it clearly:
