MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) -- 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.

Vermont. I am going to learn your State song, then I am going to give you a big kiss!
They voted on it! The Republicans will deny that anyone ever voted on it(just as the Neo-cons do here,) but they voted on it! Democracy!

I love it when a plan comes together.
