VT overrides governor’s veto..first state to legislate equality in marriage.

From ThinkProgress:

Yesterday, Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas (R) vetoed a bill legalizing gay marriage that passed the state legislature last week. Now the legislature has voted to override Douglas’ veto: The Senate voted 23-5 in favor of the override, and the House voted 100-49. Vermont joins Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Iowa as the only states where gay marriage is legal, and Vermont is the first state to approve gay marriage through the legislature.

Update: The Human Rights Campaign’s blog rounds up some statements from elected officials in Vermont.

Lets hear it for Vermont!!!! And Bernie Sanders…I do appreciate Mr. Sanders, wish he represented moi.
