    Gay Marriage Legalized in Vermont

    Posted:

    Filed Under:Gay Rights
    Just minutes ago, Vermont joined Massachusetts, Connecticut and Iowa to become the fourth state to legalize gay marriage. On Monday, Governor Jim Douglas vetoed a bill passed by the state legislature to legalize the practice. Today the legislature voted, by a healthy margin in the Senate and the slimmest of margins in the House, to override Douglas' veto.

    From the Burlington Free Press:
    The vote was 23-5 to override in the state Senate and 100-49 to override in the House. Under Vermont law, two-thirds of each chamber had to vote for override.
