Gay Right Activists Won New Hampshire Battle



Alright, before I start, I decided to completely abandon news paper summary since you guys can just click the link to read the actual source. I am definitely testing out many blogging strategy. If any of you have any suggestion, feel free to tell me.

The gay marriage bill has passed got signed earlier than I have expected. After Vermont legalized the gay marriage bill, my prediction was that New York will legalize gay marriage before New Hampshire. Obviously, I was wrong.

Now, there are total of 6 states that have legalized gay marriage:
  • Massachusetts
  • Connecticut
  • Iowa
  • Vermont
  • Maine
  • New Hampshire

Knowing how gay-right activists are concentrating their campaign on New England area, the next state to legalize gay marriage is most likely to be New York after the current governor leave the office.

At the Western front, the gay right activists lost the battle against Prop 8, and the California Supreme Court has recently upheld the ban on gay marriage.

However, according to my observation, these following states will be the next battle ground in the West:
  • Oregon
  • Washington
  • Nevada (For Economic Reason)
  • California (to overturn Prop 8)
Nevada gains substantial amounts of revenue from drive through marriage and so on. It makes sense for Nevada government to legalize gay marriage, especially since gay marriage isn't exactly secure at any states.
