New Hampshire



And then there were six... drip , drip, drip.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch said Thursday he will sign a bill to make his state the sixth to legalize gay marriage, but only if it the already-approved legislation is revised to strengthen protections for churches and people who worked for them.

SO, not going to bitch about this, I mean , the Theocrats are suffering a death by 1000 cuts. It's just that the oh-so-hetero Governor is sooo careful to protect " churches and the people who work for them " from the on coming menace of CASH being dumped in their lap by gay weddings.

First, Church's have always been able to pick and choose who gets married in their properties. Want to get married in that oh so fancy Roman Catholic Cathedral down town? BE A ROMAN CATHOLIC.... 

Second, he is a little fearful for the Knights of Columbus and their ilk, who you know rent to SOME folks, but SHOULD not have to be MADE to rent to other folks. Looks like he may be backing down on that one. Which is a good thing, cause you know, it really did not work that well the first go round.
This is still VERY much a reason to celebrate. This gives all of New England, save tiny little Rhode Island Marriage Equality. BUT, they , like New York, recognize all legal marriages.
