Vermont relies heavily on tourism dollars and the maple syrup industry for its economic survival. Apart from that, Ben and Jerry's ice cream is its largest economic anchor. Gay marriage could serve as a significant shot in the arm for a weakened economy in Vermont. More than a quick economic fix, the marriage equality bill in the House would provide Vermonters with equal rights for all citizens. All goes well, the Vermont House will have enough votes to override the impending gubernatorial veto.

"Yes Commodore1, lets not let any group get uppity and demand equal rights and protections under the law"

I agree. When people who want to marry their sister start demanding rights light Gays have, then we will be in a shiat storm. That's why we can't let gays get married. It opens the door for any group that says there rights have been violated. -

Vetoed? In Vermont? I'm shocked. I thought Vermont and it's neighboring states were as liberal as U could get. But the governor is conservative. I believe the gay movemnt might want to give it a rest for awhile. Not winning in California or Vermont has got to tell U something. The majority of people just aren't ready for this and if U try and force it then people will rebel.

"people aren't ready for this"

By people, commode means the people who vote for school boards to force creationism and superstition on generations of children. Same people that vote for Caribu Barbie to fix the economy and lead the military industrial complex against the axis of evil. Same people who dream of the good old days, when a white man and his slaves and 5 wives could make a good living.-

Yes, what part of "aren't ready for this" don't U understand? We're coming along but just not ready to take what amounts to a giant leap. And don't patronize me about what conservatives do. Liberals have no room to talk when trying to force their liberals ideals down everyone's throats.

Cons are worried, they need the draconian legal structure to prevent themselves from themselves. Same as the Teliban.

If it wasn't for marriage laws, cons would be out there humping goats, and smoking the bone in airport bathrooms.....
wait, they already do that..... -

Hurray cons who live to legislate their morality.
Reply
Remember Terry Shivo? Remember George Wallace on the steps of the school there in Alabama preventing that filthy white negro girl from attending the pure white public school.
Now, that's a con standing for his principles, then as now.

Really, its amazing to hear the pirate murdering theives calling themselves conservatives say the word "liberals", with the attitude they have the moral high ground, standing by their status quo principles of white supremacy, misogyny, classism, elitism, greed, and facism.
Reply
After all, their moral structure is based on a baby jew god, who when he grew up was a conservative, racist, gaybashing, rich, status quo, sycophant who loved his government, subugated himself to the rich and powerful, and worshipped the status quo morality. Jesus was the Rush Lamebaugh of his day.-

This was my favorite part of the article (in terms of sheer ludicrousness):

Opponents say gay marriage would undermine traditional male-female marriage, rendering men and women interchangeable
Are these opponents of gay marriage all completely bisexual? Perfect 3s on the Kinsey Scale? I thought that was a really rare thing. I think I'm about a 1, maybe a 1.5. Men and women are NOT completely interchangeable. I would not trade my wife for a man even though where I live I could marry a man if I so chose. I'm pretty sure that most on the homosexual end of the Kinsey scale don't find men and women interchangeable either. If they did, they'd probably save themselves a lot of pain and prejudice and just choose women. -
