vermont legislature overrode the veto. so now there are *four* states with marriage equality.

I'm not planning on relocating any time soon, but now there are three other places i could move to if needed without suddenly becoming a second class citizen. (well, three and a half if you count NY, which recognizes same-sex marriages but doesn't perform them.)

More importantly, legislative approval -- by 2/3 -- shows that the popular support is strong enough that a constitutional amendment to thwart it is not going to happen.

"Shows" to whom? The flatlanders who'd have no problem dumping gigantic amounts of ad money into a cheap-media state?

They tried that seven years ago. Vermonters told the flatlanders to spend more, and voted against them.

They're also a vast minority.
