A Note About Gay Marriages Prior to September 1, 2009, gay women and gay men were not permitted to marry in Vermont. They were, however, permitted to enter into a Civil Union, and until that date we had a separate page here on our web site for Civil Unions. Though there is no longer any need for that separate web page, we would like to preserve a letter that it contained, written in 2001 by one of Chester's elder local Justices of the Peace. Click here to read his inspirational letter to the Vermont State Legislature. |
