The Vermont state legislature voted to override the governor's veto of same sex marriage to become the first state to allow same sex marriage through legislative action rather than a court ruling. Vermont joins Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Iowa (at least for the moment) in becoming the fourth state to adopt same sex marriage rights. Gosh, 46 mores states and we will be as progressive as Canada, parts of Europe, and the UK. Seems to me that "the land of the free and the home of the brave" ought to be a little more up-to-date in their inclusion of who gets to be free. Remember, "equal rights" aren't equal if we don't all have them. Please click the link below for more details.
