NH: Gay Couples to Marry at Midnight

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

A handful of gay couples plan to celebrate the New Year and New Hampshire’s law legalizing gay marriage by exchanging their vows in front of the Statehouse just after midnight.

Mo Baxley of New Hampshire Freedom to Marry said Wednesday that a few couples plan to get married while others who got married in other states will celebrate with them.

Two years ago, about three dozen gay couples celebrated the state’s new civil union law by entering into unions at the Statehouse. The new marriage law grants no new rights to gays, but eliminates the separate status for civil unions.

NJ: Gay Marriage Supporters Rally at the Statehouse

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Gay marriage supporters flocked to the Statehouse this morning as lawmakers prepared for their first day of the lameduck session. Steven Goldstein, chair of Garden State Equality, rallied at least 150 protesters on West State Street, directing them to take advantage of legislative committee meetings and speak with their senators.

Goldstein said their job today was to “see and be seen” in T-shirts bearing the slogan, “Equality, the American Dream.”

Although the Senate Judiciary committee is not considering the bill today, gay marriage proponents are demonstrating their support for S1967 anyway.
