New Hampshire Passes Civil Unions Bill

The Governor of New Hampshire John Lynch signed into law today a bill making New Hampshire the latest state to offer civil unions. Civil unions will become available to same-sex couples beginning January 2008 and will grant gay and lesbian couples all the state-wide rights and responsibilities of marriage. Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders released the following statement: “The state of New Hampshire has taken a big stride toward addressing the painful legal void in which same-sex couples and their children live,” said GLAD Executive Director Lee Swislow. “But the journey is not over until we have equality, until we have the same protections and choices as other New Hampshire citizens, until we have marriage.”
