LIFE GAY Vermont takes step toward legalizing gay unions
MONTPELIER, Vt, March 1 (Reuters) A Vermont legislative committee on Wednesday Approved a far reaching proposal to legalise the relationshíps of gay couples.
The state’s House Judíciary Commíttee voted 10to1 for the “civil unions” ínitiative which would grant gay couples the same “rIghts and obligations” that are extended to married heterosexual couples.

The next big step is consideration by the full House. The Senate has not take up the measure yet.
No nation allows samesex marriage, but within the last 10 years several countries, including Denmark, Norway, Sweden, the Netherlands and France, have created a status called regiatered partnerships.
