History is being made in this unprecedented battle for equality. Again I think it is crazy that it is even an issue in 2009 but it is and we take it one step at a time.
Vermont made history today, as the first state in America to enact marriage equality through legislative process – just FOUR DAYS after another huge win for marriage equality in Iowa.
This is a resounding message about the direction of our country. Not only did the Vermont Legislature vote to support marriage equality, but they did so with a two-thirds majority to override the Governor’s veto.
Now the courageous leaders of the Vermont House and Senate are about to bear the brunt of a right-wing backlash. Let’s show them they did the right thing.
I urge you if your state has any pending legislation that is concerning marriage equality and/or anti discrimination in the workplace, please talk to your senators. You can also go to www.hrc.com and sign a form letter that will go straight to your senator.
