NH House rejects Gov Lynch on gay marriage lite

Contrary to the sweetness and light with which New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch tried to portray, last week, the additional language he wanted the state legislature to add to a gay marriage bill, was actually gay marriage lite, as I noted.

And, not just me.

Yesterday, the New Hampshire House saw through Lynch’s bigoted ruse and rejected it. The state senate OKed it, though, by a narrow margin, so it’s off to conference committee.

Lynch, meanwhile, is now claiming that Connecticut and Vermont have even more “protective” standards in their gay-marriage laws, which is bullshit.

So, that all said, who’s gonna blink first? I hope the gov/state senate.

If Lynch really believes his claims, he’s an idiot. If he doesn’t, he’s a panderer of the highest order.
