The Senate in New Hampshire voted on Wednesday to legalize gay marriage.
The legislation will go into effect on January 1st, 2010, unless it is vetoed by Governor John Lynch, a Democrat.
Lynch has said publicly that he opposes same-sex marriage, but has not commented as to whether he would veto legislation legalizing gay marriage.
If Lynch declines to take any action to block the legislation, the bill will automatically pass into law. The New Hampshire House of Representatives approved the bill on March 26th.
New Hampshire would be the fifth state in the U.S. to allow same-sex marriage if the legislation is passed into law.
Hopefully Governor Lynch will do the right thing.
