Nh votes in favor of gay marriage

Today, New Hampshire has become the 5th state to legalize gay marriage
Governor John Lynch has not indicated if he will veto the bill, which passed the Senate by a vote of 13-11 and would make New Hampshire the fifth state in the nation where gay marriage is legal. But the Democrat has expressed opposition to it. It has already passed the state's House of Representatives.
Governor Lynch should support what the house and the senate have decided. This is the way our country is moving and he should recognize and support that. Our country was based on principles that support people having the freedom to do anything with their life as long as it doesn't harm others. Same-sex marriage dose not harm anyone. Just because two men or two women love each other and want to spend the rest of their lives with each other in no way makes marriage itself any less meaningful.  

The house and the senate have both come to this realization during their voting process. The governor  should see and respect that.  He should not veto this bill. More states need to follow this example and step up  and take our country in the direction of acceptance instead of hate.
