This comes in response to today's vote in the Vermont House to accept the so-called "civil unions" bill as passed by the Senate last week.

As president, Dean would recognize same sex unions. Dean said he would not propose a federal law to give gay and lesbian couples the right to get married, but he would advocate that the federal government recognize state laws that granted gays and lesbians the rights and benefits of marriage.
As president of the United States, I will recognize civil unions, which will then allow full equality under the law as far as the federal government is concerned," Dean said in a speech to the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association convention in Philadelphia.
Vermont is the only state in the country that formally recognizes relationships of gay and lesbian couples. Through a pact known as civil unions, passed by the Legislature in 2000, the state grants same-sex couples all the rights and benefits of marriage that are conferred by state government.
Dean made a point of saying that Vermont has not passed what is commonly referred to as gay marriage, emphasizing that civil unions are a parallel, but separate, institution.

Drama Escalates as Primary Results Spell Danger For VT Civil Unions Law While the mainstream media has been quick to point out that "several" legislators who voted for the civil unions legislation in Vermont last spring lost re-election during Tuesday's primaries, the facts indicate that the anti-civil union side "lost" just as many on the House side. The Senate results were a different story: The "yes" votes lost six from their tally while the "no" votes lost none.

Our Primary Results for Year 2000 Turnout was heavy.
It's primary day in Vermont, which is a day that sets the political stage for the election in November. And, there is a crowded field of contestants this year, both for statewide offices and for legislative seats. Opposition to civil unions has drawn dozens of candidates into the primary; many of them vowing to Take Back Vermont. The grassroots movement has no central organization, no single leader; but it has energized candidates and voters all over Vermont.

Politics takes new lows Recent newsletters and e-mails from a conservative Political Action Committee (PACs) have been circulating that state, "because of the expected heavy voter turnout, Republicans should vote on Tuesday and Democrats on Wednesday." Liberal PACs have been putting out just the opposite notice: "Democrats vote Tuesday and Republicans vote on Wednesday." Both notices are lies. We are all supposed to vote on Tuesday.

Reciprocal Partnerships Earlier in the day the committee received solid testimony from a woman who favors the RP benefits for herself and her close female friend of 30 years -- a platonic relationship. Since she is the full-time caregiver her mother who suffers from Alzheimer's, she had to quit her job and has no healthcare benefits. The RP bill would allow her and her friend, who own the house together, to receive healthcare insurance from her friend's employer. Presently the employer only offers such benefits to married couples and homosexual couples.

Vermont’s Dirty Secrets Revealed "Who do we love?" shouted the leader of the demonstrators winding their way toward Vermont's state capital's dome. "Everybody!" rang the chorus. Professions of universal love abounded at this demonstration on behalf of Vermont's new civil union" law. That will be good news for the state's Republicans, who can pull their personal ads, stop waiting by their phones for a date, and ready themselves for the warm bath of affection Vermont's liberals will soon be sending their way. Up to this point, however, stereotypes to the contrary, it's Vermont's liberals who've been awash in hatred.
