Gay Marriage Bill Signed Into Law In New Hampshire
Author: Norma Love, AP Source: Google
Title: GAY MARRIAGE BILL SIGNED INTO LAW IN NEW HAMPSHIRE
New Hampshire became the sixth state to legalize gay marriage after the Senate and House passed key language on religious rights and Gov. John Lynch — who personally opposes gay marriage — signed the legislation Wednesday afternoon.
After rallies outside the Statehouse by both sides in the morning, the last of three bills in the package went to the Senate, which approved it 14-10 Wednesday afternoon.
Cheers from the gallery greeted the key vote in the House, which passed it 198-176. Surrounded by gay marriage supporters, Lynch signed the bill about an hour later.
"Today, we are standing up for the liberties of same-sex couples by making clear that they will receive the same rights, responsibilities — and respect — under New Hampshire law," Lynch said.

If this keeps going perhaps eventually, the rest may follow.

I'm very happy that NH has decided to make this historic decision: however, it still boggles my mind, and makes me quite sad, that in this day and age we're still legislating civil rights and discussing and conjecturing whether or not we should allow two people in love to marry. We should be beyond that by now.
