Two States In Play -- New York and New Hampshire

Two states who could potentially become numbers five and six in spreading equality in marriage are New York and New Hampshire.


Gov. Paterson of New York believes a same-sex marriage bill can be pushed through NY's state legislature. Welcome to the party, NY. I can't believe you have to follow Connecticut (home of insurance companies and boring sweater sets) and Iowa, but better late than never.


New Hampshire's governor, John Lynch, doesn't support same-sex marriage and would prefer to stick to civil unions. But, NH's legislative House passed a bill saying marriage is for everybody not just women and men. It still has to get through NH's Senate and I believe Gov. Lynch is willing to use his veto power.


I hope equality spreads because I need to fill in my Un
ited States map with more color. While filling in more of the East Coast would be duckie, Iowa looks lonely out there. How about it, Minnesota? Wanna play footsie?
