Veto rebuffed; gay marriage OK in Vermont

Hopefully they will learn from Michigan and other states hard lessons - when the inevitable move to amend the state constitution to redefine marriage or whatever comes, don't sit on your laurels - mobilize and get it kicked out, as many times as necessary.

The state House Tues­day recorded a dramatic 100-49 vote, the minimum needed, to override Gov.
Jim Douglas’ veto. Its vote followed a much easier override in the Senate, which rebuffed the Republican governor with a vote of 23-5.

Vermont was the first state to legalize civil unions for same-sex cou­ples and joins Connecti­cut, Massachusetts and Iowa in giving gay cou­ples the right to marry. In those other states, ap­proval of gay marriage came from the courts.

There will be no more significant snowfalls. Because I say so. Nya.
