The New Hampshire House Judiciary Committee voted Tuesday in favor of repealing the Granite State’s 15-month marriage-equality law, according to the Associated Press.
From the proposed legislation:
"The vast majority of children are conceived by acts of passion between men and women – sometimes unintentionally. Because of this biological reality, New Hampshire has a unique, distinct, and compelling interest in promoting stable and committed marital unions between opposite-sex couples so as to increase the likelihood that children will be born to and raised by both of their natural parents. No other domestic relationship presents the same level of state interest."
Right. Because love is no reason to get married. And adoptive parents are not "natural" parents.
I swear I wish I could just move to some sane, progressive European country and never have to think about this pit of breeding-crazed bigots again.
