...civil unions performed for Vermont residents, 29 have so far been formally and clearly dissolved in that state. But the vast majority of Vermont's civil-union licenses, 5,770, have gone to people outside Vermont, and those gay couples who don't wind up happily ever after could enter the same legal no-man's-land they were trying to escape by getting married...
