(NAME-MCE) VERMONT MAKES HISTORY

[Kat Morgan]

VERMONT HOUSE OVERRIDES THE VETO of the marriage equality bill!!!!!!!!
100-49!! The Governor's veto is overridden. Because the Senate voted
23-5 to override--same sex couples can now LEGALLY MARRY HERE IN
VERMONT! 

Vermont has become the first state in the US where the legislative body
granted marriage equality rather than the courts.

"What if the mightiest word is love? Love beyond marital, filial,
national. Love that casts a widening pool of light. Love with no need to
preempt grievance."  - Elizabeth Alexander, Inaugural Poem, January 20,
