Posted: 4/29/09 at 3:59pmNamo's right. We jumped the gun on this one. The Senate approved the bill. The House and governor still need to okay it.

http://www.theunionleader.com/article.aspx?headline=Gay+marriage+bill+passed+by+Senate&articleId=12eb3305-7bf0-4818-9961-30e2118d94bd
CONCORD – A bill legalizing same-sex marriage in New Hampshire passed the Senate today on a 13-11 vote.
The bill, amended on the Senate floor, draws a distinction between civil and religious marriage, and says that any two individuals have a right to join together in a civil marriage
****
It’s not clear how Gov. John Lynch will handle the bill. He has he said thinks the word marriage should be reserved for a traditional heterosexual relationship. He has argued that the state’s civil unions law already protects the rights of gay and lesbian couples.
Nothing requires Lynch to sign the bill into law. He can let it take effect without his signature once it arrives on his desk.

Posted: 4/29/09 at 4:04pmMost Americans only read headlines anyway, so that makes it at least a little bit true.
The opposite of creation isn't war, it's stagnation.
