Roper: Civil Unions Was “Jim Crow” for Same Sex Couples

July 11, 2025 Rob Roper

It’s the twenty-fifth anniversary of Vermont passing the first-in-the-nation civil unions law back in 2000. Not marriage, mind, you. Something separate but supposedly equal.

Happy Independence Day!

We Need To Declare Independence, Again
