April 7th - Vermont overrides governor's veto and becomes the fourth US state to fully permit LGBT marriages. Is this a movement in the making? Or just a few "rogue states?"

A movement, if we're lucky. We need to stop denying civil rights to American citizens.

As long as there is a significant portion of the population being denied such a basic right, the movement will continue toward justice and equality. The day will come when all Americans look back in shame on the time when the right to marry was not guaranteed for all, just as we wince when remembering that we held human slaves, and that we denied women the right to vote. That twinge of shame is the scar of the struggle toward true morality.

It's all part of the movement.

Why is it rogue if the people have decided they want it which is their constitutional right to? The problem with where it is illegal in other states is that the people have decided against despite what the governor wants or does not want. What I continue not to understand is the fight for the term "marriage" which is a religious institution and you know as well as I most gays and lesbians are atheists. Why is it important to them? They can get the same rights without the term.

WOW, a LGBT question which does not praise or degrade either side. I am impressed. I don't have an answer but I wanted to say thank you for a well written question. . and thank you first commenter for proving my point. that is called bias, the very thing you accuse the other side of having.

I can recall when segregation was the law of the land and there were laws on the books against a "crime against nature" called miscegenation. That was the word coined to make interracial marriage sound like a social evil. I can remember when preachers railed in the pulpit against the evils of racial mixing and marrying, and swore that is Satan ever succeed in breaking down the vital walls separating the races it would be the end of America. Truth will win. It's a movement.

I think it's a movement in the making.
