Victory in New England - Gay Marriage!
Yet another major victory in New England: today New Hampshire's governor signed marriage equality into law, making it the sixth state to allow loving same-sex couples to marry. The bill survived a spate of propaganda from the right-wing National Organization for Marriage – the same group that ran the fake "Gathering Storm" ad – hammering Gov. John Lynch to veto equality. We prevailed. But now Gov. Lynch and the courageous lawmakers who passed this bill are about to feel the sting of a right-wing backlash.Let's show them they did the right thing.
Here's what I'm thinking...
For all of you who missed my 30th birthday (you know who you are) and haven't yet purchased a copy of my first book (you also know who you are)... you can make it up to be me on June 20th! Plus.... you'll have an amazing time and it benefits Marriage Equality USA.
