NH Senate hearing Wednesday on gay marriage

The Senate will hold a hearing Wednesday on whether to make New Hampshire the fourth state to allow gay couples to marry.


The House narrowly passed the measure last month. Democratic Gov. John Lynch opposes gay marriage but has not said specifically that he would veto it.


Two years ago, the Legislature approved, and Lynch signed, civil unions for gays, which provide all the rights of marriage, except in name.
