Gov. John Lynch of New Hampshire said Thursday that he would sign the state’s marriage equality bill if it was amended to further protect opponents of such unions from having to take part in ceremonies celebrating them.
Legislative leaders indicated they would allow the changes, making it all but certain that New Hampshire will become the sixth state to have the freedom to marry for gay couples. (Link)

This is another indication that the face of our country is changing. Not for better or worse.
I believe that the institution of marriage should be reserved for a man/woman relationship but it appears that more than a few governors don't believe the same thing. I accept it, move on, and realize that many are liberated by this legislation.
I feel that my home state of NJ may be the next to enact same same-sex legislation.
Even though I don't necessarily agree I applaud these governors for standing up for what they believe in. With any mass movement it's always the first few that have to make the toughest s because they are subject to the most criticism.

Hi Ryan
Thanks for commenting. While we clearly believe the country is changing for the better, we also very much agree with you that these first few leaders who embrace positive change do show real bravery.
I'd also love to hear more about why you believe the institution of marriage should be reserved for a man/woman relationship.
Thanks again for following our blog
