More than 200 people rallied Tuesday outside the Statehouse to repeal New Hampshire's gay marriage law and replace it with civil unions for any unmarried adults, including relatives.
State Rep. David Bates, a Windham Republican, told the crowd there is no truth more self-evident under the federal Constitution than men and women were created for each other.
Supporters said the proposed repeal bill would not apply to gay marriages that have already occurred, but would stop new ones.
Democratic Gov. John Lynch has repeatedly said he will veto attempts by the Republican-controlled Legislature to repeal the law, which he signed in 2009.
Jean-Marc LeDoux, a 20-year-old University of New Hampshire student, said militants passed the law and "our turncoat governor" signed it, a reference to statements by Lynch before he signed the law that he opposed same-sex marriage.
Republican gubernatorial candidate Ovide Lamontagne said if he is elected he will sign a repeal bill into law should the effort this year fail.

"I'm surprised at how small the crowd is," he said.

The proposed civil union for any adults is interesting. Elderly parent and adult child caregiver, two siblings, room mates, etc - ha ha! It would take away the "gay" gateway into same sex marriage that it currently is.
Our side does not have professional protestors paid by OUR tax money. Follow the money trail on ALL the leftist groups and you will find that they are funded directly or indirectly by you and me.
