Like Vermont before them, New Hampshire passed a same-sex marriage bill 178-167. It had passed in the Senate 13-11. Whether Dem Gov John Lynch signs it is another matter. He said last week that he didn’t think the law was necessary because New Hampshire already recognizes civil unions.
CNN: The bill passed Wednesday differed from an earlier bill passed in the House by distinguishing between civil and religious marriage. It allows each religion to decide whether to acknowledge same-sex marriage, but extends the option of civil marriage to any two individuals.
