Vermont lawmakers legalize gay marriage

MONTPELIER, Vt. - The state Legislature on Tuesday legalized gay marriage in the state by overriding the governor’s veto.

Both the House and the Senate rejected Gov. Gov. Jim Douglas' veto of a bill that would allow same-sex marriage.

Vermont became the fourth state to legalize marriages of gay and lesbian couples. The others are Massachusetts, Connecticut and Iowa.

Well, this is the second state to legalise gay marriage in a week. Funny that a state like Iowa and Vermont are now more liberal than California. But then again, I suppose marijuana is more important than civil rights.
