I am so happy to live in Canada, where gay marriage has really stopped being an issue. Nobody blinks an eye here to the idea of of gay people getting married. The only time it’s ever brought up is when we try to prove to the States, “look! gay marriage across a North American country won’t screw anybody up!”

You should really REALLY be thanking that governor if you need to thank anyone. He’s opposed to it, yet signed it anyways because he listened to his state’s wants and desires. “The undaunted wave” does continue but this wave could have EASILY been stopped if it wasn’t the compassion of the opposed governor.

@CHASE – I think Cali has enough large areas of liberalness to make it a blue state, but there is A LOT of conservatism.
I liked that Gov. Schwarzenegger said that it needed to be defeated by a vote but that it will be defeated. It’s sad how long the country is taking and how much hate is being directed at the GLBT population, but we will overcome this.

I live in the Netherlands and i still think it’s unbelieveable that Same-sex marriage isn’t legal in all states. I mean.. what the heck is taking them so long? It’s not like you’re legalizing murder… O.o
They’re legalizing something amazing and beautiful: Love! That should’ve happened ages ago.

@ Kaden – First of all, I never said New Hampishire wasn’t diverse whatsoever. I simply stated that California was diverse hence the reason why I thought/think it’s weird how residents don’t seem to pass this proposition. I never said anything about New Hampishire not being diverse in anyway besides it not being as diverse as California which I said above. I find it amazing that they legalized same-sex marriage not to be confused with me saying it isn’t diverse as a whole. ( :

“The new language does not differ much from the earlier version — churches are still EXEMPT from providing insurance and other benefits and services to same-sex partners of employees. Governor Lynch reportedly agrees to the compromise.”
*********
The ‘compromise’ bill allows churches, i.e….. religious-tax-free-corporations, to discriminate against same sex couples. One might conclude this would include private schools, organizations, and businesses owned by those religious corporations. This bill allows employment discrimination. In fact, religious corporations will be protected against lawsuits….. for every step forward, will we be required to take two steps back …. Second class citizens…. is this supposed to be acceptable?

^ hahaha wow! ^

ANYWAY — fuck yeah to NH! New England has such a unique independent, each-to-their-own streak. I love it. Someday we’ll look back on this time period like we now view biracial marriage… what’s the big deal??

Response to Chase…New England is very diverse, maybe you should take a trip out here before you assume things :)…It may be a conservative state but at least we’re open minded and passed the bill…:)

I find it so funny how these states that are passing same-sex marriage aren’t as culturally diverse and open-minded as California and yet California doesn’t even pass it. It’s so weird. I guess California isn’t as open-minded as it represents itself. Go New Hampshire!
