New Hampshire legalizes same-sex marriage!

New Hampshire Governor John Lynch Wednesday signed the same-sex marriage bill, making the state the sixth in America to let gay couples wed. The law will take effect on 1 January 2010.

Finally.

Hurrah! Hurrah!

Quoted in the New York Times, Governor Lynch said:

"Today, we are standing up for the liberties of same-sex couples by making clear that they will receive the same rights, responsibilities — and respect — under New Hampshire law."

Wonderful, wonderful news.

Thank you and congratulations New Hampshire from your neighbour to the north.
