State Senator Dennis Damon is introducing a bill in the legislature which would re-write the state's statute on marriage to include same-sex couples. His bill would also recognize marriages performed in other states.
Next door, in New Hampshire, a bill has been introduced to replace the term "civil union" with "marriage" in that state's civil union law.
There's no doubt both these bills will be fought tooth and nail. The Crapolic Church, among others are lining up for the fight. Both are probably a long shot.
But look how far we've come. It wasn't that long ago that Vermont's Civil Union law was considered "radical." Now, most straight people support some kind of legal recognition for same-sex couples.
It's only a matter of time before same-sex marriage becomes the law of the land. Maybe 10 or 20 years, but it will happen. And the haters know that. They can bark and growl all they want, but they KNOW that gay marriage will be a reality someday.
I look forward to that day. And also to the day when the homophobic haters will be shamed into the closet just like racists are today.
