Sweet! That makes MA, CT, IA, VT, and soon to follow CA. Congratulations!

What a fantastic day to be an American! I am sure that the feeling of satisfaction and equality spreading around that great state will be remembered for generations.

Vermont had it right with civil unions that afford equal rights.
Now all they are doing is trying to keep up with Iowa before they loose their title as most liberal state in the union.

To the self appointed "gay spokesperson"...Jacob Whipple, here's another pretty great state to move to and have your dreams of gay marriage come true. Bus tickets are cheap right now.

Its refreshing to see a legislature doing something that makes sense for the government rather than voting their personal/religious views. Maybe Utah's finest should take notes

Here we go again! Let the comments fly.

And then there were four!

One State at a time. One by one, we'll get there.

Better send Chris Buttars!!

yipeeeeeee! | 10:09 a.m. April 7, 2009

I cannot wait to see what the neocons find to complian about this time. You cannot blame "activist judges" this time

Much Worse | 10:13 a.m. April 7, 2009

The economic downturn is troubling but nothing compared to the immoral practices this country is starting to embrace. Legalizing gay marriage is just plain dangerous and destructive. Our society becoming immoral will destroy us. I hope for our countries sake that this trend does not continue. It amazes me how blind people have become.

Way to go Vermont. Another good day for equality. Utah I hear the future knocking.

Scott S | 10:17 a.m. April 7, 2009

And through the legislature, no less. Way to go, Vermont. Thank you for paving the way for equality and fair-mindedness.

Activist Legislature! When is the legislature going to quit legislating from the legislature. What about the will of the people?

Albemar | 10:23 a.m. April 7, 2009

YEAH! EQUALITY FOR ALL!

This is fantastic news, a legislature that respects every human being and fights to treat everyone equally.

4 states down, only 46 more to go! The tide is shifting and fairness is winning, while discrimination and prejudice is going to the history books, just like all other civil rights movements.

The only question in the future will be... why did it take so long to agree to treat everyone equally?

To Kevin | 10:27 a.m. April 7, 2009

You also forgot Hawaii and Ohio. Mexico and Canada, also.

i am thrilled! | 10:35 a.m. April 7, 2009

WTG Vermont! Maybe "all men are created equal" will really happen, even here in the backwoods. Let's hope!

Just another sign of how far our great nation has fallen. Embracing homosexual behavior and abortion are two huge stains our society has decided to take on itself all in the name of choice.

I wonder where the commonsense is of those who embrace both of these degenerative behaviors....

Prophecy being fulfilled about the last days....sad!

@ A_Chinese_American | 10:37 a.m. April 7, 2009

No it will be United in the fact that Gay people will not be discrimated against anymore.
