Another state legalizes gay marriage!
It makes me so happy that another state has now legalized gay marriage.
New Hampshire is now the sixth state in the country to legalize gay marriage, and that is just an awesome thing in my opinion.
I wish the rest of the states would follow suit.
I believe that all people have the right to love and marry whomever they choose, as long as they are happy, they should have the same rights as the rest of us.
There's even gay vacations that couples can take where they can go and have fun with other people where they will be respected, have fun, enjoy themselves, and not have to deal with people who may not agree with their life choice.
That's what gets me about all this.
In California and here in Florida, people who disagree with the right of all people to be able to marry, took it to a constitutional vote, to make it illegal for gay couples to marry.
That's just so wrong in my opinion.
I just don't see how it effects anyone else to let people get married, be happy.
It doesn't effect them, it won't effect them, but they imagine all of these wild scenarios, and they tell these crazy stories, and scare people into voting against the rights of others.
So it makes me very happy when I hear of states making it legal for gays to get married.
So way to go New Hampshire!
Who's next?!

I was so glad to hear this! For a state whose motto is *live free or die*, I was surprised that so many religious fanatics were screaming over this. I mean, no one is EVER forcing anyone who is offended by gay marriage to participate in it in any way.
I've actually been toying with the idea of becoming a Justice of the Peace myself, just so I can perform these weddings. It might be a fun thing to do on the side, yanno?
I am very proud to live in an area where most people are open-minded. Five of the six New England states have now legalized gay marriage, my home state, Massachusetts, was the first.
There seem to be a lot of dickheads in Rhode Island (the one New England holdout on this issue), though, so who knows if same-sex marriage will ever be legal there. I say that gay couples who live there should move to one of the other New England states, and let them get their tax money. I would not want to pay taxes to a state that doesn't support equal rights, not if I can help it.
