CONCORD, N.H. – New Hampshire lawmakers have rejected a bill that would have made their state the first to repeal a gay marriage law through legislation -- a move opposed by the governor.

The Republican-controlled House voted 211-116 on Monday to kill the bill that would have repealed the 2-year-old law and restored a law that allowed civil unions in 2008 and 2009.

Put it to the voters,New Hampshire.If you dare!

If FoxNews had a decent editor, they would explain as follows: “211-116, 8 votes short of the two-thirds required to override Gov. Lynch’s veto”.

That was close but no cigar.

Are they allowed to try again, and again, like the pro-gaysbians do for their agenda?

[muawiyah]

Of course. Gays and Lesbians LOVE to hear these interminable discussions about what they do with their nether regions.

They get a sexual thrill from it ~ and other stuff as well ~ light bulbs, plungers, chair legs, you name it.

it turns out that the 211 were the opponents of the repeal. DEMS voted yes, kill the bill, so the repeal-gay-marriage effort was 103 votes short of the 219 needed.

the bill never passed and was never considered, officially. So there was no veto to override.

This was to ITL the legislation, or kill it.
Inexpedient to Legislate

I suppose New Hampshire and other states are trying to Legislate away "THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY".

The Lord might have something to say about the subject?

[who knows what evil?]

But...but...but the REPUBLICANS were just granted overwhelming majority status in the Legislature...they were going to REPEAL gay marriage...

Suckers...you damn fools. Check out the comments in the NH newspapers this morning..."many, many CHRISTIANS support gay marriage..."

Boy, do THEY have a surprise coming.

[who knows what evil?]

There is NO discernable difference between Republicans and Democrats in New Hampshire.

New Hampshire = Sodom and Gomorrah.

New Hampshire:

The infiltration from Massachusetts is complete!

care to post some of that info?
I assume you are talkin bout comments from the legislators. Any names?

[who knows what evil?]

Comments in the Union Leader, not legislators...

and i am sure y’all are aware that there aren’t 220 pro-family individuals available who are dedicated enough to become state reps. it is not as if the RINOs have taken seats from some pro-family person.

Example: if Ed Smith, RINO-Hinsdale, decided not to seak re-election this year, I doubt a pro-fmaily person would seek the seat to replace him. Same with the freshman RINO from Fitzwilliam. Nobody available to primary these people.
