POLL: Should NH Repeal Same-Sex Marriage Law?

Over 200 protesters in New Hampshire rallied in support of HB 437 and traditional marriage today.

HB 437 would repeal same-sex marriage in the state and bring back civil union status for gay and lesbian couples.

State Rep. David Bates, R-Windham, a sponsor of the bill, led the rally to . He said it was a reflection of “New Hampshire families who understand what marriage is, the union of one man and one woman.”

A hearing on HB 437 is scheduled for Feb. 17 at 10:30 a.m. according to the NH General Court website.

Same-sex marriage is also legal in Connecticut, the District of Columbia, Iowa, Massachusetts, New York and Vermont. If passed, New Hampshire would be the first state to issue a legislative repeal of a marriage equality legislation.
