New Hampshire Senate approves same-sex marriage
Posted: 03:28 PM ET

From

(CNN) The New Hampshire State Senate narrowly voted Wednesday to allow the state to become the fifth in the country to legalize same-sex marriage.

The measure, passing on a 13-11 vote, now heads to the New Hampshire House of Representatives, which vetoed a similar bill earlier this year.

New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch, a Democrat, has not indicated whether he would sign the bill should it reach his desk.


Let's see how this plays out.  Keep your fingers crossed, boys and girls.

Hurray!

The real reason I'm commenting, though, is that I have to say how much I love your unitarian universalist icon.

CNN is confusting about the NH House. It looks like the NH House's history on this is a bit more complicated than that. The vote failed the first time, but passed a second time 186 to 179 on March 26th. So the House might not be much of a hurdle, but the governor...?

Read more. Ok, so gay marriage passed the NH House, but without this freaky definition of civil vs. religious marriage.

Also, confusting should be confusing. Might be bedtime for this Bonzo.

Hey, Mijan! This is that girl you met at the ice rink like two months ago. I managed to almost immediately lose the notebook you wrote everything in, because I'm just that awesome. *facepalm* Anyway, HI, sorry I disappeared, it was not intentional. You were quite brilliant. :)

I've been out of town for a week.
Absolutely a propos of nothing: Hey! I didn't know you were UU too!!! (although it's not a huge surprise....)
