Gay Marriage is legal in the 603 :-D

Live Free or Die! That's the New Hampshire way. We are about freedom, and I feel that became clear today, when we became the sixth state to legalize gay marriage. I am extremely proud of my state. People may poke fun and say that New Hampshire has more cows than people or that we're all hicks, but I think it's clear that New Hampshire truly is a progressive state with people that care about equality and freedoms.

I applaud Governor Lynch. I think that his requests do make sense, as much I hate to admit it. Lynch basically asked that some changes be made to the bill before he signed it. These changes grant religious organizations the power to deny gays the right to marry. Make no mistake, I think this is morally wrong, but religious organizations have the rights to religious freedom. It's sad that they choose to exercise this right by discriminating against people, but that is their right.

I salute you, New Hampshire :-)

Peace (& Equality),
Kim

  2. Yup, you're definitely a hick. But any hick who supports gay marriage is a good hick in my book.
