Vermont becomes 4th state to allow gay marriage

From Reuters here.

Vermont legalized gay marriage on Tuesday after lawmakers overrode a veto from the governor by a wafer-thin margin, making the New England state the fourth in the United States where gays can wed.

The vote, nine years after Vermont was the first in the United States to adopt a same-sex civil-union law, also makes the tiny state of 624,000 people the first in the nation where lawmakers passed a gay marriage law instead of the courts. . . .

It's no less legitimate if the courts find laws unjust. That's what the courts are there for.
