Vermont became the fourth state to legalize gay marriage but the first to do so with its legislature. Its Congress voted 23-5 (Senate) and 100-49(House of Reps) to override Governor Jim Douglas' veto of a bill that would have legalized it.
The other three states, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Iowa all legalized gay marriage through the courts, which is not as solid as a legislative legalization because it can be overturned easily.
