New Hampshire Gay Marriage Repeal Effort Shelved

An GOP led effort to repeal New Hampshire's year-old gay marriage law has been shelved, the AP reported.

The House Judiciary Committee considering two bills that would repeal the law voted unanimously on Thursday to hold off on the legislation.

At a recent hearing on the bills, a large majority of the six hundred people in attendance opposed repeal of the law.

Republican leaders had urged the committee to shelve the bills until next year, insisting social issues must take a back seat to the state's fiscal crisis.
