From the Union Leader:
The New Hampshire House narrowly passed a bill Thursday that would allow gay couples to marry.
The final vote on HB 436 was 186-179, and came after nearly three hours of debate.
The bill now moves to the Senate.
Those who pushed for passage of the bill said it was a matter of equal rights and that it will bring an end to discrimination against homosexuals. They said the state’s civil unions law, passed in 2007, is not the equivalent of marriage.
