Vermont lawmakers legalize gay marriage

Governor's veto is rejected; state becomes 4th in U.S. to take that path

Yes, another one.
Like Nick8 said about Iowa, they're falling like dominoes.


Here's the updated scorecard.

Same-sex marriage is legal in:

Massachusetts

Connecticut

Iowa

Vermont

Like I always said... Eventually, people will start to see how ridiculous the ban is, and the law will change. One step at a time. Let's place wagers on which will be the last state to adopt such a stance?

Dear Nick666, don't worry sugar booger, I'm quite confident you don't have what it takes to be married where the fundamentals of the relationship are based on mutual respect and love. But don't worry, you've always got your bathroom mirror to keep you company.

My favorite Vinylboy:
As for the last State to legalize same-sex marriage, it will be Ewetaw by about 100 years. After all, the majority of sweet spirits residing in the Inter-Mountain West still think it is 1957.

Is the Utah state supreme court still appointed by the prophet?

And congratulations, Vermont. I think it was the only state to have passed civil unions by legislative action, and is now the only one to do so with full marriage. Everywhere else, it has been accomplished through litigation.

Close, kalipygian, last time I paid any attention they were all brethren of the faith (and possibly one sistren, too), but now the homophone "profit" is the more generally accepted terminology among the politically powerful. Interstingly, I believe the Ewetaw State Legislature is made up of more Realtors than any other profession. :wink:

OK, so, half of New England (by statehood, much much more by population) is seeing the light. One lone soul out in the midwest. How long before the mid-atlantic joins in? Md almost passed same sex marriage in the courts last year, but didn't. I don't understand the resistance. Religiously, i'm married. Civily, I'm not. And the reasoning for not allowing me to be married civily? Oh, that'd be religion.

I don't understand.

But Kudos to Vermonters!!
