The governor of New Hampshire will sign the new gay marriage bill as soon as the legislature amends the bill to include language protecting the rights of religious organizations from being forced into performing such marriages (as if that was ever going to happen here in the real world).
This language is perfectly acceptable to gay people in New Hampshire. This fact completely discredits any of the ridiculous, contrived objections that bigots have used to prevent this legislation from being enacted. Of course, the bigots are still opposed; they just don't have even the appearance of an argument to make now. All they can say is just "No, no, no, I don't want it." To bad.
Now all eyes are on New York, specifically the state senate. Will the state become the lucky seventh state? Do New Yorkers really want to be less enlightened than folks in New Hampshire or Vermont or Maine or Iowa or Massachusetts or Connecticut?
PS: What a pleasure to type that honor roll of states, and what a pleasure knowing that the list will soon include many more!
