From The Boston Globe:

The state Senate’s Judiciary Committee has recommended that the Legislature reject legalizing gay marriage in New Hampshire.

The committee voted 3-2 Thursday against a bill that passed the House last month. Committee Chairwoman Deborah Reynolds, a Democrat, said she doesn’t think New Hampshire is ready for gay marriage. Republicans who voted against it said marriage is an institution created and defined by God as between one man and one woman.

Two years ago, the Legislature approved, and Gov. John Lynch signed, civil unions for gays, which provide all the rights of marriage, except in name.

Lynch has not said specifically whether he would veto the gay marriage bill

No word on what the next steps are. As I read and re-read the short statement above I was, relatively speaking, moderatetly happy to read that Committee Chairwoman Deborah Reynolds said she doesn’t think New Hampshire is ready for gay marriage — which is a whole lot different from saying gay marriage is wrong.
