NH: Anti Gay Forces Now Trying to Overturn Gay Marriage in the Granite State

With the defeat of same-sex marriage in Maine, all eyes are now turning toward the Granite State, where lawmakers anticipate a heated battle over the state's new gay marriage law in the upcoming legislative session. As the new year rings in Jan. 1, many gay couples in New Hampshire will be heading to the altar on the first day same-sex marriages will be allowed in the state. But two legislative proposals aim to overturn the new law. House members have filed requests to introduce a bill and a constitutional amendment that would repeal the measure shortly after it takes effect. While lawmakers are already gearing up for the fight expected when the new legislative session begins in January, some gay couples are wary of what could happen at the Statehouse in Concord. An opportunity many thought they would never see may suddenly vanish. Full Story from the Eagle-Tribune: http://www.eagletribune.com/punewsnh/local_story_318195206.html?keyword=topstory
