Vermont begins hearings on same-sex marriage bill

Sent from Express News
MONTPELIER, Vt. - Nine years after it played host to a bitter fight over civil unions, Vermont's Statehouse is again a gay rights battleground.

More than 200 same-sex marriage opponents, cheering and wearing buttons that read "Marriage - A Mother & Father for Every Child," converged Monday on Montpelier as lawmakers began a week's worth of hearings on a bill that would allow gay and lesbian couples to marry.
