Do I understand this correctly?

The state House and Senate previously passed a marriage bill.

The governor sent it back, asking for language that would protect religions from being forced to accept same-sex marriage, and prohibit lawsuits against religions based on this.

And now the state House voted this version of the bill down? They are against provisions that would protect religions from being sued regarding same-sex marriage?

Am I missing something?

The governor had indicated he would sign a bill with religious exemptions in it.

New Hampshire would have legal same-sex marriage except for some not accepting a religious exclusion?

Am I missing something?

This should send a shudder down all of us if I understand this correctly. Unless I missed something, it sounds like they are against giving a religious exclusion in the cases of same-sex marriage. Thus, religions will eventually be sued over this issue, denied tax exempt status, and otherwise affected. There is no mainstream religion that I am aware of that recognizes same-sex marriage, though some do committment ceremonies for same-sex.
