There is an air war going on in New Hampshire as Governor John Lynch decides on what he wants to do with HB 436 when it reaches his desk. He will have five days to either sign or veto the bill or it becomes law without his signature. Here are the competing videos:
First, here's the opposition from the "National Organization for Marriage":
Notice the use of the religious imagery of the yellow cross in the "marriage is between a man + a woman" even though this legislation is about civil marriage and does not impact the definition of marriage for any church, synagogue or mosque. Shameless exploitation of children, not unexpectedly (litotes!)
And now here's the New Hampshire Freedom To Marry Coalition ad
Please help NH FTM raise money to keep this ad on the air. They say they are being outspent 3 to 1 by NOM.

This is another indication that the face of our country is changing. Not for better or worse.
I believe that the institution of marriage should be reserved for a man/woman relationship but it appears that more than a few governors don't believe the same thing. I accept it, move on, and realize that many are liberated by this legislation.
I feel that my home state of NJ may be the next to enact same same-sex legislation.
Even though I don't necessarily agree I applaud these governors for standing up for what they believe in. With any mass movement it's always the first few that have to make the toughest s because they are subject to the most criticism.
