There is still an outside possibility, however, that the governor will veto the measure. But proponents of the law have done everything they can to squelch every possible objection:
[A]n amendment was added that prohibits polygamy and marriage of family members, among other measures. ... The last-minute changes to the legislation would [also] allow clergy to decline to marry homosexual couples and give couples the freedom to either keep the words "bride" and "groom" on marriage licenses, or simply use the word "spouse" instead.New Hampshire has already had civil unions since 2007.
Every state that legalizes same-sex marriage puts more pressure on the federal government to recognize same-sex marriages, so let's go, New Hampshire! Woot!
