Amazing news from the Green Mountain State! The Vermont Senate has just given final approval to S.115 (full text) a bill that would allow same-sex couples to marry. It has passed the upper legislative house by a veto-proof majority, but this is unlikely to be repeated in the much larger State House with the companion bill, H. 178.
Republican Governor Jim Douglas has refused to state his position on the bill, although he has stated his opposition to marriage equality in the past.
Congratulations to Beth Robinson and all my friends at the Vermont Freedom To Marry Task Force who have been working on this issue since the early 1990s.
