What's with New England?

A bit of good news from New England! Vermont is considering updating their civil unions to marriage. In a change from other recent statewide battles, 200 clergy are speaking out in favor of marriage and only the Catholic Church is saying anything against it. In Maine, the legislature normally limits the number of co-sponsors for a bill to 10. For the same-sex marriage bill they dropped the limit and 60 legislators of both parties have signed on. That's almost a third of the legislators!
