Vermont legalizes same-sex "marriage" by legislative action.(Inside Track)(Brief article)
Vermont became the first state to legalize same-sex "marriage" by legislative action, when on April 7 the state legislature overrode Gov. Jim Douglas' veto of the day before. A two-thirds majority vote was required to override the veto, and the override succeeded by a vote of 23-5 in the state Senate and 100-49 in the House.
The lopsided votes on behalf of a life-style that was almost universally regarded as a perversion just a couple of generations ago shows how successful the homosexual lobby has been in transforming the cultural face of America, at least in liberal New England. Homosexuality was classified as a disorder by the American Psychiatric Association, for instance, until December 1973.
