Vermont Legalizes Gay Marriage

Filed in National by on April 7, 2009

And overides a veto to do it!

The Vermont House of Representatives passed the bill by a 100-49 vote after it cleared the state Senate 23-5 earlier in the day. In Vermont, a bill needs two-thirds support in each chamber to override a veto.

Look at those numbers.  That’s not a slim margin, that’s the writing on the wall.  Come on, Delaware – stop dragging your feet!

    This is what victory feels like, just for one day.

    If you think that Vermont is comparable to Delaware in any way, shape or form, think again. They had Howard Dean and Bernie Sanders. We have Jack Markell and Tom Carper. Sorry, Jack, but that doesn’t even come close.
