UPDATE: GREEN MOUNTAIN DAILY - Marriage Equality: Images from the Statehouse

FROM VERMONT FREEDOM TO MARRY:--

Day 3 of Senate Judiciary Hearings

WE WILL BE STREAMING THE HEARINGS LIVE ON OUR WEBSITE TONIGHT!

In the run-up to tonight's public hearing, from 6:00 - 8:30pm at the State House, the Senate Judiciary Committee heard from clergy across the religious spectrum regarding their perspective on the marriage debate. Video footage of the hearing is available on our website.

Episcopal Priest David Hall read a statement on behalf of The Right Reverend Thomas C. Ely, Episcopal Bishop of Vermont. Bishop Ely was unable to attend because he was out of state. Through Rev. Hall, Bishop Ely testified that S.115 "has the possibility to strengthen our understanding and appreciation of marriage as we witness the love and fidelity of gay and lesbian couples alongside that of straight couples."
