New Hampshire House votes again for marriage equality

Last week, I wrote about two efforts to repeal marriage equality- one in Iowa, one in New Hampshire. Previously, the New Hampshire House Judiciary Committee voted down two efforts to repeal marriage equality.

Lurleen over at Pam's House Blend has the news that today, the full New Hampshire House voted down a move to subject the rights of LGBT people to a ballot vote via a constitutional amendment, 201-135, as well as a bill to repeal the law altogether (a law which the same New Hampshire House passed), by a vote of 210-109.

Great news, and go New Hampshire. I remain interested to see how married same-sex couples will play into the 2010 Republican Presidential primary in that state, particularly given that it's a semi-open primary (undeclared voters can vote in either party's primary).
