Yea for New Hampshire!

I posted a link to this story in the Nashua Telegraph on Facebook, but didn't even think to put it on my blog until I read Leonardo Ricardo's latest post.  For some reason I couldn't comment on his post, but I decided that I would try never to be silent on the issue of equal rights for all.  I don't want to be insulated from reality.  Had enough of that in the years my children were tiny.

I grew up reading the Telegraph and I follow it on-line, mostly to see if any old classmates have passed on.  New Hampshire now allows gay marriage and this lesbian couple tied the knot the very first minute they could.  Maine may have dropped the ball for now, but they are bordered by a state that hasn't.

NASHUA – In a candlelit church brimming with family and friends, Jennifer Morton and Michelle Morrison heard an announcement they’ve waited 13 years for: they were, at long last, married.

At the stroke of midnight, the couple joined in a rousing chorus of “Auld Lang Syne” at their church, the Unitarian Universalist Church of Nashua, and then rang in the New Year by observing the moments-old law allowing gay couples to marry in New Hampshire.
