Gay marriage legal in Vermont

Today Vermont was the first state to legalize gay marriage with a vote. The votes were barely gotten enough votes. There's a bill that will allow gays and lesbians. This is starting on September first. There are now five states that allow gay marriage. There's a possible chance other states will follow these five states' decision. There are bills to allow sex marriage. Courts deal with points of law. Legislatures argue about some of the same principles. This process may become personal. The debate came when gay and lesbian lawmakers took to the floor. They took the floor last Thursday. They also told their own personal love stories. Linda McLain i s an expert on family law and policy. She is also a university law professor. This is what she said "What may give courage to other legislatures is that this legislature managed to do it," she said. She added that using the civil rights language could help make gay marriage more acceptable elsewhere. Opponents said they also believe that they will be made legal in other states. The action came just days after the Iowa Supreme court ruled that not permitting gay marriage was not right. This is all I know. I think that it's good that they made it legal to be gay in some places.
