In New Hampshire, NOM is supporting civil unions... Am I high of something, because this sounds fishy as a Malibu Barbie.
This is from their press release:
The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) today urged the New Hampshire legislature to pass HB 437, compromise legislation to restore civil unions for same-sex couples, and repeal same-sex marriage while protecting couples who have already been "married." The bill's author, Rep. David Bates, has said he will offer an amendment letting voters have the final say on the legislation through a statewide referendum vote.Interesting and stupid, NOM.
"Gay billionaires like Tim Gill forced same-sex marriage on the state in 2009 without voters having any say," said Brian Brown, NOM's president. "We urge the legislature to adopt this compromise bill and let the voters have the final say."

V, a very common tactic used by conservatives not getting their way. It is a stalling measure, meant to move them one step closer to their goal and move us one step further away from ours. Their real intent(to abolish all forms of protection for GLBTQ) is still the same. There is no empathy, benevolence, or olive branch in this act.
