They are Coming for New Hampshire!


Just when you thought it was safe, the haters are at it again. This time they are gunning for New Hampshire!
Two proposals are being drafted in the N.H. House: One would repeal the law Gov. John Lynch signed in June and re-establish civil unions; the other is a constitutional amendment that would charge voters with deciding if "the state shall only recognize the union of one man and one woman as marriage."

Supporters of same-sex marriage are strategizing and gearing up for a fight, said Rep. Jim Splaine, D-Portsmouth, who sponsored the gay marriage law. He said momentum doesn't rest with gay-marriage foes.

"The momentum is on our side and those of us who support equality and love over hate," he said Wednesday.

Folks, let's get ready. This mess has to stop!

yes, but in NH they need to go through the LEGISLATURE FIRST before they get on the ballot.

The problem is that you will never, ever be able to have a state law approving gay marriage without the opposition trying to fight it. You think they've given up on Massachusetts. No, they just haven't been successful.

The only way for marriage right that can't be overturned by vote is a federal law. It's the only real way.

I'm not sure what you have got against marriage?

Live and let live!
