Proprosal to Rename and Reorganize /Rewrite Article to reflect the fact that Same Sex Marriage has passed and civil unions will now be a Historical footnote

Anyone agree?

Merge with Same-sex marriage in Vermont

It is proposed to merge the articles on Same-sex marriage in Vermont and Civil unions in Vermont into a new (to be created) article called Recognition of gay unions in Vermont. In order not to prejudge the result of the discussion I haven't created this article yet. Other suggestions for the name of the destination article are welcome.

This is part of a general proposed merger of the "Same-sex marriage in..." with the "Civil unions in..." series. Any general points can be discussed in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject LGBT studies#"Same-sex marriage in ..." v. "Civil unions in the ...".

In essence these articles deal with the same subject matter and unified articles could deal more comprehensively with the topic and avoid unnecessary repetition. The "Controversy" section of the Civil unions in Vermont already talks about Same-sex marriage. Caveat lector 17:24, 26 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

SAME SEX MARRIAGE IS NOW LEGAL IN VERMONT. Perhaps, this article should be renamed "Same Sex marriage in Vermont", and then provide the historical background including the civil union info at the bottom.

Second reading of a bill is not the same as passing it

This sentence is false: On April 2, the House passed the bill 95-52, a few votes short of what would be needed to override a veto.

April 2nd was the second reading of the bill. It wasn't passed until the third reading of the bill which happened the next day, April 3 and the vote on that day was 94-52.

In Vermont and many other northeastern states a bill must be "passed" three times before it is actually passed.

Correct, it passed April 3. Hekerui (talk) 15:10, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
