Pete and Manny

Or, since we're talking about Vermont, Ben and Jerry.  Following on the heels of the Iowa Supreme Court striking down the state's ban on same-sex marriage, the Vermont state legislature today did the right thing, overriding Vermont Governor Jim Douglas's (R) veto to become the first state to legislatively legalize marriage for all.

And the District of Columbia's counsel today also voted to recognize other state's marriages.

Progress.

UPDATE: I just saw that The Daily Show used the Ben and Jerry line, too. Not that it was such a clever line or anything, but just pointing it out.
