House Approves Same-Sex Marriage After Bill Initially Fails
7 Lawmakers Change Minds After Bill Fails By 1 Vote

CONCORD, N.H. -- A proposal to allow same-sex marriage in New Hampshire has passed after it initially failed by one vote in the House on Thursday.

The House originally defeated the measure 183-182. But because the House didn't kill it entirely, lawmakers were able to take another vote.

After the first vote, seven lawmakers changed their minds under a motion to reconsider, and the bill passed 186-179.

The bill now goes on to the Senate.
