New Hampshire Senate Approves Marriage Equality, Goes to Governor

Seems like each day in the past few weeks it’s a daily occurrence to get news like this. The wave continues as the state Senate has voted to make New Hampshire the fifth state to allow gay marriage.

The 13-11 vote came after a 45 minute debate over an emotional issue that drew 500 people to the Statehouse for a hearing earlier this month.

The vote establishes a two-tier system with a civil marriage and a religious marriage license. The House now must consider the proposal, which is similar to one it rejected earlier this year.

Gov. John Lynch has said marriage is a word that should be reserved for the union of a man and a woman, but he has not said specifically that he would veto the bill.

Call Gov. Lynch and tell him to sign this vital legislation! (603) 271-2121
