New Hampshire Governor Signs Gay Marriage Bill

Justin Moriarty

MSNBC has announced that Democrat governor John Lynch of New Hampshire has signed a gay marriage bill that will take full effect in January. New Hampshire is the 6th state to allow gay marriage in the United States. The bill passed by a vote of 198-176 in the state house and was signed by Lynch, who openly opposes gay marriage, on Wednesday. The question now is if other states will continue to follow this path. Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, Vermont and Iowa are among the other 5 states to already allow gay marriage. Will there ever be a day in this country or around the world when gay marriage is universally excepted? Only time will tell.
