The legal right to marriage for gay men and women has taken a gigantic step forward thanks to Vermont becoming the first state to legalize gay marriage through the State legislative process as opposed to a Court ruling.
Vermont has become the fourth state to legalize gay marriage — and the first to do so with a legislature's vote.
The Legislature voted Tuesday to override Gov. Jim Douglas' veto of a bill allowing gays and lesbians to marry. The vote was 23-5 to override in the state Senate and 100-49 to override in the House. Under Vermont law, two-thirds of each chamber had to vote for override.
The vote came nine years after Vermont adopted its first-in-the-nation civil unions law.
It's now the fourth state to permit same-sex marriage. Massachusetts, Connecticut and Iowa are the others.
New York Senator's Schumer and Gillibrand are now urging the State to legalize gay marriage. Both Senator's had previously only supported civil unions for gay couples, but switched their positions only recently.
