Vermont legalizes same-sex marriage.

They are the first state to do this through its legislature, yes?

It's so enjoyable when someone has to think up a catchphrase other than "legislating from the bench." :D

That's what I thought.

Related to my icon, just saw a post on lolobama about Aretha Franklin celebrating her 67th birthday.

Yes. The Massachusetts legislature has also been involved with gay marriage here, in that they failed to ratify the obnoxious constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage, but Vermont is the first state where the people's elected representatives have seen the fucking light without having been told off by the judiciary first.

Personally, I love the fact that some of the legislators changed their "no" votes just to overturn the veto.

The poor darlings. My heart bleeds for them.

No, wait, that's a ketchup stain.

I love it, too, and I'm not even from Vermont. They give me Hope & suchlike.

(Ostensibly, D.C. is working toward marriage, too. But damn do they suck at organization.)
