Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin says he’s going to Rhode Island to talk about what he calls Vermont’s “great story” about extending marriage rights to same-sex couples.
Shumlin says he will travel to Rhode Island on Thursday at the invitation of the group Marriage Equality Rhode Island. He’ll meet with the governor and legislative leaders.
Rhode Island lawmakers have debated gay marriage for years, but chances for the bill to pass this year seem better than ever. Gov. Lincoln Chafee has been a longtime supporter of gay marriage and House Speaker Gordon Fox is gay and a co-sponsor of the bill.
