Vermont is now the fourth state in the nation to legalize gay marriage. The state legislature has overridden Gov. Jim Douglas' veto.

May I suggest we all go out, buy a pint of Ben & Jerry's, and celebrate the fact that Vermont's legislators are responding to the better angels of our nature, and advancing human rights?
Leave it to Vermont and Iowa to be the most progressive states in the nation, shame on us here in California for passing Prop 9. Whether you call it Gay Marriage or Civil Union, the basic premise is that every person should have equal rights. It’s good to see that some states are progressing, I made a list on my site of the states I think will legalize Gay Marriage first: http://www.toptentopten.com/topten/first+states+that+will+legalize+gay+marriage

I am so very proud of my state right now! Is there a vote list yet? I'm curious to see who switched from nay to yay.
