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.
