The Vermont Senate and House just voted to override the Governor’s veto of the same-sex marriage bill.

Gay Marriage is now legal in Vermont!

Governor Jim Douglas, Republican, promptly vetoed the bill when it was delivered to his desk last night – as promised.

This morning, the Senate voted 23 to 5 to override the veto. The Vermont House voted around 11 a.m. to also override the veto. The vote was 100-49.

Vermont is the first state to allow gay marriage without a court order!

Equality is slowly sweeping America!!!!!!!

Yes. Yes. Yes.

Progress!!!!!!!!
