And To Top It Off, It's Awful Pretty Up There


from WCAX.com
Those lawmakers up there in Vermont have a bill they would like to see enacted, that would allow gay marriage in the state where civil-union was introduced.
The bill is sponsored by Representatives Mark Larson and David Zuckerman of Burlington, and has the backing of 59 legislators. The Senate is also expected to introduce a bill allowing gay marriage.
"Zuckerman, a progressive, says the economy is the biggest issue in the Statehouse but says there are other committees that can handle other issues. He says the time has come for Vermont, which passed the civil unions nine years ago, to make gay marriage law."

  1. And you've picked the spot for romantic weddings. It all sounds so encouraging. Maine is struggling with this yet again, right now.Whenever gay rights surface, perennially, the prejudice bleeds out of the woodwork. Again, religions try to run the lives of others.

  2. It's being talked about in Maine, in Vermont, in New Mexico--although it seems to be stalled there--in Wyoming....even still in California.
    As I've always said, take the bay steps. One at a time, and before you know it, you're there.

  3. Very true Bob. After a time those steps become miles.
