Governor Signs Bill Legalizing Civil Unions For Rosie O'Donnell's Entire Cruise Ship
“We in New Hampshire have had a long and proud tradition taking the lead and opposing discrimination. Today that tradition continues,” New Hampshire Governor John Lynch said as he signed a bill into law Thursday allowing gay couples to have civil unions.
Those entering into civil unions will have the same rights, responsibilities and obligations as married couples. Same-sex unions from other states also would be recognized if they were legal in the state where they were performed.
Massachusetts is currently the only state that allows gay marriage.
Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, Maine, as well as California and Washington allow either civil unions or domestic partnerships, and Oregon will join the list with New Hampshire in January. Hawaii extends certain spousal rights to same-sex couples and cohabiting heterosexual pairs.
Moving on, is "The View" going to add some color to the all-white girl gabfest now that Rosie's done?
