As Justice Johnson notes, 13 4 it took until 1973 for theSupreme Court of Vermont to declare: Having rejected the archaic principle that husband and wife are one person, it must necessarily follow that a married woman is a person under the Constitution of Vermont, and is entitled to all the rights guaranteed to a person.135 Acknowledging that a history of denying the full personhood of married women and a continued commitment to traditional fixed sex-roles outside the bedroom, not only disgust at gay sex,' 36 can undergird opposition to legal recognition of same-sex marriages, as Justice Johnson demonstrates, does not weaken the constitutional case in favor of same-sex marriage, it strengthens it, given the strength of our existing well- established constitutional prohibitions against embodying fixed sex-roles in law.	cache/cjgl-2585.pdf	txt/cjgl-2585.txt
