New Hampshire Freedom to Marry Coalition:
Governor John Lynch signed legislation that will give the legal protections of marriage to gay and lesbian couples in New Hampshire. Acting swiftly and decisively, Governor Lynch signed the legislation only an hour after the legislature took the final vote on the issue.
"Today is a historic day for all Granite Staters," said Mo Baxley, executive director of the New Hampshire Freedom to Marry Coalition. "We applaud Governor Lynch, Speaker Norelli, President Larsen and the leadership of the General Court for making sure that all loving, committed couples have the freedom to marry. Today, our shared values of individual liberty, freedom, and fairness have been upheld."
