After debating for about an hour, the House voted 178-167 to approve the Senate amended marriage equality bill!
Next step - Gov. John Lynch must sign the bill. He has not said whether he would veto it, but he has stated that he believed New Hampshire's civil unions provided same-sex couples with the same rights as married couples.
Lynch said that further action by the federal government is needed to recognize same-sex unions.
New Hampshire's Cornerstone Policy Research, working with the National Organization For Marriage, just released this ad to pressure the governor.
Spread the Good As You ad response!
Counter NOM! Urge the governor to sign the bill!
