New Hampshire House OKs ban on same-sex marriage recognition
Supporters easily cleared what was expected to be the last major hurdle to a legislative ban on accepting out-of-state, same-sex marriages Thursday. How nice. The House is sending an amended bill back to the Senate for its OK. The House vote came after more than three hours of debate that included emotional testimony from gay legislators. Rep. McKim Mitchell said he and his partner have been in a 25-year relationship, but his parents and brother refuse to visit their home even though all three live on the same rural road. "I have not had a Thanksgiving or Christmas [together with family] for years," he said. "I am simply not welcome."
