POLL: Repeal Same-Sex Marriage in NH?

New Hampshire conservatives are introducing legislation that would repeal gay marriage in our state.

The state's law allowing gay marriage would be repealed under a bill that a House committee endorsed Tuesday, according to the Union Leader.

Supporters of the bill said that the bill restores marriage in its traditional form, which they say is a popular idea amongst voters.

Democrats have opposed the bill, saying it is an insult to the gay population and would make "a mess of inheritance and probate laws."

Governor Lynch has promised to veto the bill if it reaches his desk. The bill will be put under consideration in January 2012.
