Vermont's first gay marriage
On September 1, 2009 Vermont’s new marriage law went into affect providing total equality, allowing any loving couple wishing to marry, straight or gay, to do so under one law. What makes this law historic and significant is the fact that on September 1, 2009 Vermont became the first state in the country to pass this law through “legislation”. In other words, it was the desire of the people and not the courts that directed this law, providing total marriage equality in Vermont.
At midnight September 1, 2009 I had the privilege of officiating the first gay marriage in the state of Vermont for Bill Slimback and Bob Sullivan at the Moose Meadow Lodge
