Another step towards justice

[chelidon]

I am proud of my state. And of northern New England in general, every single state of which has now passed a same-sex marriage law. "Live Free Or Die," indeed.

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) _ New Hampshire legislators approved a measure Wednesday that would make the state the sixth to allow gay marriage, and Gov. John Lynch said he would sign it later in

Shame they threw the rest of us under the bus....

I very much understand your frustration, but I'll take any actual progress we can get, as opposed to all of the many U.S. states that passed anti-gay marriage laws. Each victory makes the rest more likely, so this is, I believe, progress for all, even if only one step along the journey.

The pace of justice may move at a crawl, but it does come, it can, it will. I do believe that, and this step strengthens my faith and my belief.

Unfortunately, there's a history of deals whereby trans equality legislation is thrown out in order to pass gay equality legislation (see also: trans-inclusive ENDA). Which makes the "progress for all" thing a little bitter, as you can imagine...

Another reason I'm happy to be moving to NH very soon. :)

whee!!

I knew it was coming up for a vote (again...for the fifth time, IIRC), but I've been away from the news today. I'm glad that Governor Lynch signed it this time.
