New Hampshire PASSES Gay Marriage Appeal

On June 3rd, 2009, New Hampshire become the fifth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Since then, approximately 1500 same-sex partners have marred in the state.
However, last year Republicans gained control of the state's judiciary and are predictably trying to overturn the same-sex marriage law. On Tuesday, the House Judiciary Comittee voted 11-6 to repeal the same-sex marriage law and instead allow any unmarried adults to enter a union, including relatives.

“That law granted gays all the rights and responsibilities of marriage except in name. The proposed civil unions law would be open to any two adults and would let anyone refuse to recognize the unions. It also would allow anyone to discriminate against the couples in employment, housing and public accommodations based on religious or moral beliefs.”, notes the AP.

Democrat Governer, John Lynch assures that he will veto any bill that pushes to overturn MARRIAGE EQUALITY.

Getting Over The Rainbow: A Young Boy's Struggle to Come Out

 I was born December 31, 1996 from two loving parents. My childhood was a typical one, my parents put me into a Day Care that was Christian. I still know some bible verses by heart because they forced us to remember them pretty much. As far back as I can remember I always knew I was different. When my sister was outside with my dad playing in the mud, I was inside playing with barbies. I was never into playing the 'manly' guy. I have always been a mommy's boy and still am. I remember whenever I was in kindergarden and I used to sit there and I would think about how all of the guys had girlfriends and I was with no one. I still remember when I used to whisper into my hand and say "I'm gay" just because I wanted to tell someone so badly. When I was in 3rd grade I moved schools, everyone at my new school were nice people. I had a lot of friends, went to birthday parties, just the average 3rd graders life. In 6th grade I told my best friend about the feelings I have been having and they went and told everyone. I used to get people coming up to me every day asking if they were true. 7th grade was the time frame where most of the bullying took place. People would shoulder check me in the hallways, call me faggot, push me to the ground, and start discusting rumors, the worst was how "I had sex with 4 guys and I let them all fuck me all they wanted." I went to the principle and all she did was 'talked to them' but nothing stopped it. I was in a deep depression, everyone noticed. I wouldn't go out to party's, talk to anyone, or go anyone anymore. My days consisted of me sitting inside of my house. In 8th grade, guys wouldn't even sit next to me. In the locker room they wouldn't even dress out next to me. In 8th more rumors started, I attempted suicide but didn't succeed( I'm glad I didn't). I was losing all of my friends, people were calling and harassing me every day. I went to the school 5 times in 2 months and every time they "talked to the student(s)." I finally just gave up on everything and everyone. I would cut myself almost everyday, I didn't want to live anymore. Then 2 of my teachers changed that, they would write anyone up who offended me and they would call their parents and inform them about their bullying. I'm now a Freshmen and the only people who say stuff about me behind my back are some of the jocks. But everyone else has stood up for me and defended me so far throughout this year. I have always had some dearly close friends who have been there for me through everything. I thank them for doing this because without them I wouldn't be here today. Everyone in my family is very accepting of me now and support with a lot of the bullying. I have changed A LOT of homophobes minds on their opinions on the gay community. Every one says that I am the 'leader' of the gay community in my school. I am the type of people where if I see someone getting bullied I will stand up for them even if that means I will get my ass beat. I know what it feels like to get bullied and it's nothing fun. There have been 2 suicides in a 25 minute radius of my house in 2 WEEKS. A 15 year old and a 16 year old. I just don't understand why people have to bully. Like oh geeze I'm going to call this girl fat when I don't know she was born with diabetes. People now a days are so fast to judge someone whenever they don't even know them. Rachel's Challenge has shown me that you are supposed to give everyone 3 chances. Ever since the day I signed Rachel's Law I have followed her guide lines and it has DRAMATICLY changed my life. If you have the urge to bully someone for there sexual orientation, maybe you should ask yourself, When did I choose to be straight?
