VERMONT OVERRIDES GOV'S VETO, APPROVES GAY MARRIAGE
First civil unions
Now gay marriage.
Next comes Gov Douglas in a baby carriage.
It passed by one vote.
Vermont is now the first state in the country to pass gay marriage legislation, all other states that allow (or allowed) gay marriage do so as a result of court rulings.
This is only the 7th legislative override of a gubernatorial veto in all of Vermont's history and the first in 20 years!
AND as if that wasn't enough of a lavender laurel for one day:
THE WASHINGTON DC COUNCIL VOTED TODAY TO RECOGNIZE SAME-SEX MARRIAGES APPROVED IN OTHER STATES.
So what happens in Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Iowa doesn't necessarily stay there.
Now if you'll excuse me, time for a little reveling:
