Title: NH protects marriage equality AKA "Suck it, NOM!"

Today, the New Hampshire House of Representatives voted down legislation that would have repealed the state’s two-year-old freedom to marry law along with a key vote to defeat the Bates Amendment, which would have forced a non-binding referendum on marriage onto the November ballot and replaced marriage with civil unions. The final bill was defeated by a vote of 211 to 116 and the Bates Amendment by a vote of 162 to 188. Stripping away the freedom to marry in New Hampshire was a top priority of national anti-gay organizations, which had predicted that they would be able to garner the vote of two-thirds of both the House of Representatives and the Senate to override the promised veto by Governor John Lynch.

So basically they said they'd be able to get enough votes to pass the bill and override the veto but they didn't. NOM is already complaining about out of state influence because mirrors are fucking shiny.

MODS, I accidentally posted this in the wrong section. >.<

It makes my heart skip a beat and fills me with delight when I see them gnash their teeth in anguish and pain. It gives me joy when I see the fundie bang his head against a wall in agony when he can't force his whims on the rest of us.

This pleases me greatly. Yes it does...

Now I know why Jim Cornette said Democrats are people he'd like to sit down and have a conversation with, and Republicans are people he'd like to set on fire.
