The dominoes are starting to fall. New Hampshire has moved a step closer to allowing same-sex marriage. Already having a civil union statute, the New Hampshire House voted 186-179 to approve the gay marriage bill and send it to the state Senate.
New Hampshire will be the third state to allow same-sex marriages should the bill become law. Another measure is in discussion in Vermont and New Jersey. If passed it would make New England a safe haven for LGBT people seeking to wed.
As more and more states allow same-sex marriage, the question of recognition will be more and more difficult for states who have passed so-called "Defense of Marriage" laws.
