Loading ...NH panel recommends against gay marriage repeal
02.09.2010 12:40pm EST
(Concord, NH) A New Hampshire House committee is recommending against repealing the state’s five-week-old gay marriage law.
The Judiciary Committee also voted Tuesday to recommend that the House kill a proposed constitutional amendment that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. The vote was 12-8 on both measures, led by Democratic opposition.Opponents of gay marriage know their chance of success on such measures is slim, but they want to keep the issue before voters in hopes that Republicans will regain control of the Statehouse in November and then ban gay marriage.
The House could act on the recommendations next week.
New Hampshire became the fifth state to legalize gay marriage Jan. 1. It is also legal in Massachusetts, Iowa, Connecticut and Vermont.
Once again I’m just not getting the RR’s obsession over this whole issue.
I’m sure someone will have something more intelligent to add but I’m just tired of it.
Tired of the utter stupidity of religion.
Tired of the stupidity of the American public.
Tired of being told “you’re not as good as us”.
I wish the rapture would happen and all these mother f***** would just vanish.
Good riddance.
Dont you get it? Its the ultimate in Capitalism….”I may not have more money than you..I may not be as educated as you…I may not be as fabulous and witty and stylish as you….but God Damnit, I am SAVED! And I am Married! And i (as a Christian Right Wingnut) will ALWAYS be better than you!”
We as a culture dont have blacks to look down on anymore – and its un-PC to attack race at all……so we have to have SOMEONE to hate!
No tourism moolah for the states that scribble antigay discrimination into their own constitutions.
NH, keep you state laws and state documents discrimination-free and I will go through your state on the way to
Canada. However this time, I will bypass Maine.
I am not sure why it is such a big deal.
A. The wingnuts need to keep the concept that they are better than us.
B. That we exist, and can have long stable relationships is too threatening to a litteralist world view. They need to believe that the world is only 5,000 years old if not flat.
C. Everyone really wants to be gay and Heterosexuality needs tax incentives to endure.

“The Iowa House today rejected procedural attempts by opponents of equality to advance an amendment to the Iowa Constitution seeking to overturn last April’s unanimous Iowa Supreme Court ruling and to deny the protections of civil marriage to gay and lesbian couples.
The Iowa Supreme Court ruled in April 2009 that same-sex couples be allowed to marry for reasons of basic fairness and constitutional equal protection. According to Des Moines Register,
Both the House and the Senate this morning rejected efforts led by Republicans to push a resolution that would prevent equal marriage rights for same-sex couples.”

Amen, brother!
It is the religious right, suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder, that is sick in the head.
The right wing churches drive anxiety into peoples minds, eg if you don’t do as they say, you will go to hell.
And ultimately they become literally ill with this anxiety based disease. Fearful of losing their place in heaven, and burning in hell, courtesy of their sick churches, they cannot conceive of anything different then being robots for the church.
Its about time these churches be exposed. They literally make people mentally ill, and it perpetrates itself, expressed as hatred through the ages.
Re the comment about Iowa
Just remember, these people never give up. It took WWII to more or less end the catholic churches hatred of the Jews. A war for which they were directly responsible.
the NH marriage law is only 5 weeks old and already under attack. There shouldn’t even be a need to defend it.
This country still has a ways to go before we stop wetting ourselves over these issues as late as 2010 in the 21st century.
What this is really about is is stirring up the republican hate machine re the elections in the fall.
The war against religious terrorism begins at home.
SteveMD2 – you are absolutely right. Thank you for your erudite comments.
