It seems that the gay lobby only wants same-sex marriage if they can force it on everyone. They demand the right to "marry", but they deny others the right to disagree.
After legislators amended New Hampshire's same-sex "marriage" bill to include better protections for religious liberty, the Democrat-ruled House of Representatives unexpectedly voted it down Wednesday.
The measure failed by a slim margin, as house legislators voted 188-186 to turn down the new version of a bill they had passed in March. Hours earlier, the Senate had approved the new bill along party lines by a 14-10 vote.
Democrat Governor George Lynch, who has said he opposes same-sex "marriage," indicated he would accept the bill only if it contained a religious liberty protection amendment. While the earlier version of the bill had passed both chambers, the new amendment met with opposition from Republican Steve Vaillancourt, an openly homosexual member of the House.
The new religious liberty protection amendment affirmed the right of clergy and others affiliated with religious organizations to refuse to perform same-sex "marriage" ceremonies. Why should they have to? Doesn't the 1st amendment give us the right to religious freedom?

Which clearly exposes the hypocricy of gay rights activists. I live in California. No need to say anymore since Prop. 8 is practically our second state flag.
