New Hampshire has become the 6th state in the U.S. to grant same-sex couples the same rights as heterosexual couples on the state level. The 6 states give these rights by either allowing gay marriage, civil unions or domestic partnerships. Governor John Lynch signed the bill today, which will go in effect January 1, 2010.

Congrats New Hampshire for being the next state in the U.S. that has enough sense and decency to provide ALL of your residents the same rights.

I happen to have a poker bud, Punky, who lives in New Hampshire and although she’s in a heterosexual marriage she supported same-sex marriage from the get go. She told me she does have some issues with the bill….perhaps I could get her to stop by and tell us about it??

Remember everyone in New Hampshire…..it’s awesome that you now are legally allowed to get married in your state but we still can’t give up the overall fight, because you (and every other gay and lesbian couple) are STILL denied federal rights as a same-sex couple.
