The State of Marriage profiles the men and women who pioneered the national marriage equality movement through their groundbreaking efforts in Vermont. Cathedral Church of St. Paul deacon Stan Baker and his husband Peter Harrigan appear in the film. Baker was the lead plaintiff in Baker vs. Vermont, the 1999 case in which a state court ruled for the first time that same-sex couples are entitled to the benefits and protections of marriage. Episcopal Church in Vermont chancellor Tom Little also appears in the film. As the chair of the House Judiciary Committee in 2000, Little helped craft the civil union law. The film is available on iTunes and On Demand. Read more and watch a preview.
