With absolutely no desire by the people of the state for this to occur (see the poll in the article), NH Republicans are doing what they do best when you give them power anywhere, trying to make gay people's lives difficult and miserable and trying to relegate them to second class status.

This is what you get when you vote Republican.

With overwhelming majorities in both state legislative chambers, they can pass this bill and override the governer's veto if they want. As usual a few more sensible people in the minority oppose this on the GOP side though. Hopefully there will be enough to stop it.
 
This would be a Supreme Court challenge for sure.
 
Its always funny when your typical idiot gay republican doormat tells us he votes Republican because "there are more important issues to me than gay rights."

It's clear that there aren't more important issues to the republican party.

Thanks for your vote, faggot. Now go sit at the back of the bus til the next election when we'll need your support again.
 
^ I dunno.

Let's ask Jayqueer what they think.

I suspect that as long as they are for Guns and God and against abortion and Gays, LCR and GOProud are standing right beside the brave New Hampshire Republicans all the way.
 
Bottom line..Republicians say they will focus on jobs etc but when they get power, their first order of business is to target gays and lesbians and women's reproductive rights.
 
I wouldn't call gay Republicans idiots, Soilwork, but their undying support for the GOP should be scrutinized with examples like this. I always find it amusing that they hold themselves to a higher standard as a Republican because they're gay. Yet, this is what the party leadership prioritizes as the Republican agenda. Demonize the gays: hurt them, stop them, crush them.

True. Remember in 2010 all they wailed about was jobs jobs jobs? Republicans took control of the House and haven't done anything about jobs other than to end them.

The republican candidates will suck the cocks of the religious righties in search of votes. It's all going to be abortion and gay rights now.

abortion and gay rights

Fucking broken records.
 
^ The Republicans have learned after the last decade that hate and fear are the greatest motivators for their base.

And yes, I have to assume that any government action that would nullify a legal marriage, or any legal contract for that matter, has to come to the SC at some point because it will speak to the larger issue of the government being allowed to nullify any marriage on any grounds including race or even religion.

To deny people a right in future that others have had might eventually snake its way to the SC, as we'll probably see with California, but to strip people of their status will get there like a rocket.

I have no problem with the Republican's focus on these issues, when understanding that the current preoccupation for the electorate, is their sense of insecurity that has arisen from their impoverishment, and for those still gainfully employed, losing their livelihood.

The Pied Piper of the religious extremists might well be doing us all a big favour.

Only one case in recent history went to the SC "like a rocket" and that was Bush v Gore. This will not be like that.
 
^ Well I didn't mean that rocket-like....I meant at a faster pace than the California debacle is taking....lol

You know....less than a decade.

I think though that the other difference is that there was no plebiscite as the basis for the action of the government and the challenges in court will be much more straightforward than in California.
 
I got this email today from Freedom to Marry and thought it would fit in with the discussion.

There's no way to sugarcoat it, New Hampshire families are under attack. Within the next couple of weeks, the New Hampshire legislature will vote on a measure to strip the freedom to marry from same-sex couples. And fueling the fire, the leading Republican presidential candidates just spent the entire weekend pandering to anti-gay forces and piling on the attacks:

Rick Perry declared that committed couples wanting to marry are part of "a war against religion and it's going to stop under a Perry administration."
Mitt Romney joined Perry and Newt Gingrich in claiming that married gay couples somehow threaten religion, and repeated false claims about adoption services and our country's non-discrimination laws.
Gingrich even pretended not to comprehend that gay families are families, condescendingly remarking, "We want to make it possible to have those things that are most intimately human between friends."
Rick Santorum not only promised to write anti-gay discrimination into the Constitution, he also swore he would forcibly divorce married gay couples.

This is what we're facing as Freedom to Marry and our partners fight to defend marriage in New Hampshire. Freedom to Marry has been on the ground in the state for more than a year. We have invested in television and radio ads, polling, and lobbyists through our state partner, Standing Up for New Hampshire Families.

Well, similar anyway. The big difference is a state supreme court saying gay marriage has to be allowed; the other is that there was no vote of the people.

Transitions from state court to federal court can often take a long time, because the federal court wants to be sure it understands what the state laws mean. Once that barrier is gone, things are faster.

But it doesn't matter in one way; California or New Hampshire or Iowa or wherever, the complainers are going to file every motion they can in hopes they can somehow be in charge when the case reaches the top.

And that's the big item on all the right-wing religious crap I see now: they don't care about liberty, they don't care about the economy, they don't care about justice, they don't care about anything except getting the chance to appoint a SCOTUS justice who will be about nothing but "traditional marriage".

Which is why Obama's next choice, if he gets one, should be a pro-gun, pro-marriage-equality judge, i.e. a real libertarian. Set the NRA against the fundie preachers, and watch the sparks fly.
 
If gay marriage is repealed in New Hampshire, they could likely keep the legal case within the state, arguing that it violates the state constitution.

Considering that that case is already at the appellate level, and no court case exists in NH because the event you are discussing (taking away rights) hasn't even happened yet, that would also be incorrect.
