Two victories in one week! After Iowa, this week US state Vermont has also legalised gay marriage!
Vermont has become the fourth state to legalize gay marriage -- and the first to do so with a legislature's vote. The Legislature voted Tuesday to override Gov. Jim Douglas' veto of a bill allowing homosexuals to marry. 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. The vote came nine years after Vermont adopted its first-in-the-nation civil unions law.
Great news, and a fantastic precedent for the rest of the United States! It's happening, finally equal rights!

Being against 'gay'marriage is just as racist as being against 'black'marriage, 'jew'marriage, etc.
