The Legislature overrode Gov. Jim Douglas's veto making Vermont the fourth state in the US to allow same-sex couples to marry, and the first to do so without a court order - by just by one vote.
Iowa became the third state in the country to legalise same-sex marriage on Friday while Vermont's bill - although passed - is short of the two-thirds majority needed to override a promised veto by Republican Gov. Jim Douglas.
