I thought same sex marriage was dead in the water (for now) in New Hampshire, but I was wrong.
The New Hampshire Senate has approved a bill that would allow same-sex marriage in the Granite State.
After surviving an early vote to kill HB 436, the bill passed the New Hampshire Senate Wednesday afternoon by a vote of 13 to 11.
The Senate version of the bill made minor amendments to remove gender-specific language, so it will now go back to the House for a vote.
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.
Unexpected good news- the very best kind.
To all Gay couples in New Hampshire, good luck and best wishes.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is good news, but, isn't it bizarre? California--of all places--goes thumbs down and everyone else goes the other way. Weird!
