Vermont Legislature Overrides Gov's Veto On Same-Sex Marriage!

This happened about 10 minutes ago! The Vermont legislature, Senate and House, has overridden Gov. Douglas's veto on the same-sex marriage law!

The vote in the House was 100-46. It was expected to be close to the margin, and it was...they needed 100 votes to override.

So, what does this portend? Two states within the same week approving same-sex marriage by two different methods (judicial and legislative), both (I'm sure) are going to have to fight off state constitutional amendment attempts by disgruntled neanderthals.

Is this the year we'll look back on and consider "the crack in the dam"? Are we gaining momentum? Or will the forces of darkness be energized by this and gather force to drown us in archaic stupidity again*?





*Why, no...I'm not biased against the troglodytes at all...
