Yay Vermont!

Posted by: Casey Rae-Hunter Tags: FTW!, gay marriage, Vermont Posted date: April 7, 2009 | 3 Comments

I’ve got a bunch of work in front of me, but I just wanted this to go in official Contrarian record: Vermont’s House and Senate just voted to override the Governor Douglass’ veto of the same-sex marriage bill. This means gay marriage is legal in Vermont! Hells, yeah!

A hearty congratulations to my ex-home state. A cold place, but mostly sane!

I couldn’t be more proud to be a native Vermonter today. I’ll be out celebrating the fact that my friends are now afforded the same rights as I am tonight.
