Vermont Marriage Equality

great news good to see equality on the horizon

 

i hope he doesnt veto it. if he does, im gonna kick his ass. lol

 

make sure to video it and post on gregs thread lol

 

I would say massawhatsit *sorry, I have a hard time pronouncing it, and spelling it* is more liberal then vermont. it really varies. Alot of people say the west coast is quite liberal, but thats only on the west side of the cascade mountain range.

However, any state that makes a move forward for equality is good in my book. california was a victory until utah poked its nose into other people's business.

I cant wait for oregon to take a pro gay marriage stand. I dont care, my family who doesnt already know about my sexuality will know if they put it to the voters. I dont belive it is moral, or technically legal for a vote to be used to deny equal rights, but that doesnt mean I wont use it to raise awareness within my family who dont currently know.

my grandparents on my dads side probably would be voting for gay marriage anyway, as I have a cousin who is in a commited relationship with her partner, and together they have a daughter that was born last fall.

 

Lucky you, at least you guys live within driving range of marriage-legal states. I'll be stuck in shithole little Alabama for at least another two years or so. But congrats, anyway.

 

if I can secure a book deal, I might be able to basically live wherever I want to if book royalties is enough to pay the bills. But I agree, any state that enacts gay marriages is a victory.

 

I REALLY hope washinton state gets marriage equality next :[

 

I think the governor of Vermont recently stated that if the bill should come to his desk, he would veto it. Whether the bill would garner enough support in the House to override the veto remains to be seen.

If what Governor Douglas said is true, that is GREAT news for us!

 

That's great go Vermont!

 

wtf! Vermont is a state!? How come I've never heard of it before?
Like really...

Well, this is cool so whatever!

 

UPDATE:

The Vermont House passed the gay marriage bill 95-52 today. Tomorrow will the final vote on the measure. We need 5 more yes votes to get a veto-proof majority. If we can't pick up those votes, Governor Lynch will veto the bill.

Tomorrow is a big day for marriage equality in the US.

 

Vermont, New Hampshire....Same difference

 

I just heard on the news that the Governor of Vermont vetoed the law legalizing same sex marriage.

 

If he turns up dead in a dumpster tomorrow with a pink boa stuffed in his mouth...

...ill be in mexico *innocent*

 

It isn't over yet, there will still be an override vote.

If the House's vote count stays the same, the veto will stand. But there is a chance a few votes will switch in the re-vote.
