New Hampshire House Will Not Vote Again on Gay Marriage Until June

New Hampshire supporters of same-sex marriage are scrambling to regroup after the House, in a stunning vote Wednesday, rejected a bill that would have made the Granite State the sixth in the country to allow such unions.

"It was like a punch in the stomach," said Representative David Watters, a Democrat from Dover who supports same-sex marriage. "We have one more chance." Full Story from Deseret News - Click Here
