Vermont Gov to gays: you're screwed anyway

If just to twist the knife after vetoing the same sex marriage bill in Vermont, Governor Jim Douglas just had to add this:

Regardless of whether the term marriage is applied, federal benefits will still be denied to same sex couples in Vermont. And states that do not recognize same sex marriage or civil unions will also deny state rights and responsibilities to same sex couples in Vermont. This bill will not change that fact.

He looks to be a nasty piece of work.
