The Associated Press reports that New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch has signed three bills that legalizes same-sex marriage in his state. New Hampshire is now the sixth state to make gay marriage legal.
The AP says the will take effect in January. That's two years after New Hampshire legalized civil unions. In addition to New Hampshire, same-sex marriage is allowed in joins in Massachusetts,Connecticut, Maine, Vermont and Iowa.
The AP says opponents of gay marriage have targeted Maine’s law with a public vote. That's what California did last November after the state Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage through a court ruling. Proposition 8 overturned the court ruling in California and the same Supreme Court said last week that voters had the right to do that through a constitutional amendment.
