The New Hampshire House has rejected a bill that would have repealed same-sex marriage.
The Republican-controlled House voted 211-116 against the repeal Wednesday. Same-sex couples have been able to marry in New Hampshire for two years.
The vote came after about two hours of debate on the bill and associated amendments, including ones that would have implemented civil unions instead and called for a nonbinding referendum on the issue.

On to North Carolina.
(Footnote: This marks a double whammy today for NOM. Jeremy Hooper has audio of portions of a Starbucks shareholders' meeting in which opponents of -- well, gays in general, I guess -- a trying to put Starbucks in the hot seat for its support of same-sex marriage in Washington state. The response of the CEO -- and the rest of the shareholders -- is worth listening to. He calls it a smack down. I call it annihilation.)
