Ahhh there is still some sanity and correct thinking people left in New Hampshire! Sweet music to my ears.This has made my day so much better.Now i'll sit back and wait on the liberal lap dogs to start nipping at my heels.
Sorry, but the lawmakers didn't reject the gay-marriage bill. The House rejected an amendment to the bill, without which amendment the governor has vowed to veto. So it's only the governor who is set to reject gay marriage by his veto.
I find it hilarious that the religious right wackos are reduced to these parlimentary and cowardly tactics to kill the bill. They're claiming to be afraid that they'll be convicted of something if they don't carry out gay marriages, even though no law like that is on any books.
I wonder if any bigots tried the same tactics back in the 60s. Does anyone know if any cowards fought against civil rights for blacks based on a similar chicken-**** argument?
Either way its dead for now and the Normal citizens of that state can live in peace for a little bit longer. Yes i am sure they will try and resurrect the bill and it will probably pass but at least for 1 more day some sanity has happened in this country.
Location: I currently exist only in a state of mind. one too complex for geographic location.

Calm down...I don't think gay people are "not normal."

I agree. It's different from racial discrimination or tension.
Yeah i'm sure that was what people thought in Alabama when blacks couldn't go to the same school as whites.
Skin color and sexual preferences are not even remotely close to the same thing. This very argument is really, really angering the large majority of black Americans.
