Mr. Sorrell says he finds civil unions "more palatable" than legal marriage for same-sex couples. Prior to the legalization of same-sex marriage in Vermont, Mr. Sorrell was of the opinion that same-sex marriages performed in other states were not valid under Vermont state law. However, in September 2012, Mr. Sorrell told a Federal Appeals Court that it should rule that the federal ban on recognition of same-sex marriage is unconstitutional because it deprives same-sex couples of their rights and discriminates against them.
