Same sex marriage[edit]
In the House, Sanders voted against the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996.

In Vermont, Sanders supported the state’s 2000 civil unions law and the 2009 law legalizing gay marriage.Sanders’ and his home state of Vermont were the first to legalize same-sex unions in 2000, at first recognizing them as civil unions. Gay marriage has been legal in Vermont since 2009, and as The New York Times reported, Vermont was the first state to pass legislation in support of same-sex marriage, rather than in reaction to a court ruling.
