In December 1999, the Vermont Supreme Court ordered the state legislature to extend the equal rights and responsibilities of marriage enjoyed by heterosexual couples to same-sex couples. The battle that ensued is described in the new book, Civil Wars, by David Moats. David writes editorials for the Rutland Herald and won a Pulitzer Prize for his editorials on the civil union issue.
