The State of Vermont became the fourth state to allow same-sex couples to marry this morning when the state legislature voted to override a veto by it’s Governor Jim Douglas, reports 365Gay.com:
The Republican governor, as expected, nixed the bill Monday night when it arrived on his desk and sent it back to the legislature.
Dozens of gay marriage supporters wearing Freedom to Marry stickers began arriving at the State House early Tuesday morning.
The Senate voted 23-5 to override the veto. It then moved to the House, which voted 100-49 – the exact number needed to override the veto.
