Spark: Vermont Approves Civil Marriage

Posted by xJane on March 24th, 2009 at 7:33 pm · 2 Comments

The Vermont Senate, finding (correctly) that Civil Unions for gay couples fall short of providing equal rights, voted overwhelmingly to approve Civil Marriage for gay couples. The matter still has to go before the Vermont House (and since I’m late to this, may already have gone), where it is expected to pass. The margin by which it was approved is too great for the governor to veto (if he were to try).

As others have said before me, This Is How We Do It!

    Oh, no! I must rush to save my marriage which will crumble…oh, wait: SSM has already been legalized in Connecticut and Massachusetts and my marriage is still ok. What’s with that?
