Live (Even More) Free Or Die

New Hampshire Governor John Lynch will soon sign a law that will grant same-sex couples virtually the same rights as straight married couples. This comes just more than a year after the state legislature struck down a ban on gay marriage. I was proud of my home state then and I am even more so now.

New Hampshire was long a bastion of a certain kind of noetheastern reublicanism. long misconstrued (even by New Hampshire citizens) as a conservative state, New Hampshire is actually an independent, Libertarian-leaning state that within the two-party system found modern Republicanism the most appealing option. But Granite Staters are not likely to cotton to the sort of far-right social conservatism that is ascendant in much of the GOP today.
