N.H. May Vote to Repeal Marriage

A New Hampshire state representative is working to bring marriage equality to the voting population, despite the law legalizing same-sex marriage going into effect last Saturday.

Rep. David Bates, a Republican representing the Windham area, said he hopes that voters will be able to make their feelings on the marriage issue known on March 9 during the upcoming town meeting vote.

"This is in response to the law which took effect Jan. 1 that redefined marriage to include homosexual relationships," he wrote in an e-mailed announcement to supporters. "The question voters will be asked on March 9 is intended to determine the will of the New Hampshire voters concerning the marriage debate."
