Perhaps the comment below from a reader of the Burlington Free Press sums up the feelings of gay marriage opponents…
A sad, sad day for the state of Vermont. I am so ashamed of Vermont I never want to admit I grew up and lived there for over 50 years. I moved out of Vermont for economic reasons several years ago, always knowing I’d be back. But NEVER to that liberal cesspool ! The filthy perverts and leftist fools that run the state are welcome to it.
I think Vermont will be just fine without you.
