Marriage Equality in New Hampshire
After a vote in the State Senate a few hours ago, New Hampshire seems set to become the fifth US state to legalise same-sex marriage:
New Hampshire’s Senate passed a bill on Wednesday that would legalise same-sex marriage after an amendment was added that allows clergy to decline to marry gay couples.
The bill, which passed in a 13-11 vote, needs to be signed by Governor John Lynch to make New Hampshire the fifth U.S. state where gay marriage is legal. The Democrat has not indicated whether he will sign or veto the bill, but has expressed opposition to the measure.
