Maine Approves Gay Marriage, N.H. Close
In a banner day for advocates of same-sex marriage in New England, Maine Gov. John Baldacci signed a freshly passed bill Wednesday allowing gay marriage and was followed closely by the New Hampshire Legislature. If New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch signs the bill or lets it become law without his signature, his state would become the sixth overall to allow gay marriage and the fifth in New England. Rhode Island would be the region’s only holdout.
