Make Marriage Equality Happen in New Hampshire!

New Hampshire is racing to becoming the next state to legalize same-sex marriage, the house which previously passed the marriage bill will be hearing a proposed revision made by the senate tomorrow. It is expected to be approved, but contact your representatives anyway to ensure they vote in favor!

After the expected approval by the house the vote will go on to Governor John Lynch's desk. He is personally opposed to same-sex marriage but has not said whether he would veto the bill or not.

Below is a video by New Hampshire Freedom to Marry urging people to call the governor to sign the bill into law.



CALL GOVERNOR LYNCH at 603)271-2121 and email him here.

Tell him to support marriage equality, HB436

Help Elect Bud Martin to New Hampshire State Senate

Marriage Equality is on the horizon in the state of New Hampshire. House Bill 436 has passed by 7 votes, leaving only the senate to pass it and the governor to sign it into law. Democrats do control the New Hampshire senate, but must solidify votes to ensure the passage of this important and historic piece of civil rights legislation.

On April 21st there is a special election and we must elect Bud Martin (D) a marriage equality supporter to the seat.

He is quoted as saying in response to the House Bill 436:

"I support it, and I do because my experience tells me that it is important to our fabric as a community."

He also refers to a lesbian couple he knows for a long time and says "to tell them that they don't have that opportunity is something I can't personally do" (Blue Hampshire).

The Human Rights Campaign has volunteer opportunities for LGBT people interested in helping the Martin campaign, just email Karl.Bach@hrc.org or give him a call at 202-280-5407.
