Gay Marriage Under Attack In New Hampshire
Gay Marriage Under Attack In New Hampshire.
Shortly after 5:00 PM on June 3, 2009, New Hampshire Governor John Lynch signed a gay marriage bill into law. Now, just three weeks after the law went into effect, New Hampshire Republican lawmakers are trying to get the law repealed, and trying to get a ban on same-sex marriage written into their state’s constitution.
The AP reports that, while the chances of success for repeal aren’t strong right now, they are setting up a fight for November.
I would remind everyone that Scott Brown’s chances for success just a few weeks ago weren’t strong, either.
