New Hampshire One Step Closer to Marriage Equality

We’re a bit late getting to this; on Wednesday, the New Hampshire Senate passed (with a narrow margin) to allow same-sex couples to marry.
It was passed with a 13-11 vote, and only after language in the bill was amended granting religious groups and organizations legal protections who do not want to perform same-sex marriages. (Could this be due to a recent kerfuffle in Iowa over judges giving up their rights to perform marriages altogether to avoid marrying gay folks?)
The House, who passed the bill just a month ago, now has to approve those changes and place the final bill in the hands of Governor John Lynch, who made this statement on its passage:

“I recognize that the issue of same-sex marriage is intensely passionate and personal, and raises strong emotions on all sides.
“I still believe the fundamental issue is about providing the same rights and protections to same-sex couples as are available to heterosexual couples. This was accomplished through the passage of the civil unions law two years ago. To achieve further real progress, the federal government would need to take action to recognize New Hampshire civil unions.”

This doesn’t sound super hopeful, so sign a petition or contact the governor’s office directly; there’s no time to waste.
UPDATE: Unfortunately, while marriage equality matters to the Senate, transgender anti-discrimination laws aren’t up for discussion. (As it wasn’t in the House either. What a disappointment.)
