New Hampshire Governor Pledges To Veto Repeal Of Same-Sex Marriage In State Address

[William769]

New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch (D) spoke out against the GOP’s effort to repeal the state’s same-sex marriage law in his State of the State address this afternoon and promised to veto any bill that strips residents of their “civil rights”:


LYNCH: New Hampshire has a long and proud tradition of fighting for the rights of all of our people and a tradition of leaving people alone to pursue their own hapiness. As Governor, I intended to uphold that century’s old tradition and I will stand firm against any legislation that will strip any of our citizens of their civil rights.
