GAY & LESBIAN LEADERSHIP SMARTBRIEF | 04/07/2009
Vermont's gay and lesbian couples can marry, after the Legislature today overrode Gov. Jim Douglas' veto of a bill converting its civil-union system to marriage. The state Senate voted 23-5 in favor of the override, and the House voted 100-49. Vermont is now the fourth state in the U.S. to legalize marriage for all couples and the first to do so by a vote of the Legislature. Google (04/07) Reuters (04/07)
