[quote](CNN) -- After 19 years together Linda Murphy and Donna Swartwout tied the knot at 12:01 a.m. Friday, when New Hampshire's law legalizing same-sex marriage took effect.
They were among several couples early Friday who married under a full moon on the steps of the New Hampshire Statehouse in Concord.
At midnight, New Hampshire became the fifth state to allow same-sex couples to marry, joining Connecticut, Vermont, Massachusetts and Iowa.
The couple, who live in Hudson, New Hampshire, said they wanted to be married as soon as they could.
"We were thrilled and proud of New Hampshire ... it was a such a historic moment," Murphy said.
Swartwout said the marriage gives them "words and language that the rest of the world uses."
"When my nephew asks, 'Who's Linda?" I get to say, 'she's my wife,' " she said.[/quote]

What you said can be viewed the exact way you view people that don't want gay marriage.
Hypocrite :o
I guess I'm fine with it as long as they don't go running around the streets kissing or anything.
That is my state. I forgot about this......it was basically legalized a couple weeks/months ago and is just now taking affect I believe.
Why can't the rest of the country follow these examples and just legalize it nation-wide?

it's a state thing to vote on, for now. it could be nationalized through congress, but getting it passed is the same chance as a gay person walking out alive from ted nugent's house.
It is a good day
[QUOTE=The golden;19354790]It has something to do with this fucking stupid piece-of-shit belief called "Religion".[/QUOTE]
Agreed man

Yeah. Two people expressing their love in a completely harmless and non-graphic way? HORRIFYING

I don't remember anything about a not-letting-a-minority-group-have-the-right-to-marriage right being used in arguments about interracial marriage.
Those were the days - bigots accepted they were bigots.
I'm not against gay marriage as long as it's a gay man marrying a gay woman.

Unity! Han your such a saint today
you may be anti racist but then you're anti gay
you may be ignorant from a lack of education
but if it's sympathy you see you seek
you better turn to another station
:woop::dance::woop:
Worth Celebrating Dawg.
Don't care. I'm not gay but I have no problem with them being themselves.
If you're against gay marriage don't fucking get one.
Yay for my state, being sane as usual.
:sigh: Gays getting married.
Gay people have the same right to be miserable in marriage just like the rest of us :v:

You wouldn't object if it was a straight couple kissing, or two girls - why should it be different for gay men just because some people find it icky?
Good.
Male > Male marriage isn't right
Now, Female > Female marriage is a whole nother idea. I would so legalize lesbian marriage.

It's because girls are feminine and it's hot to see 2 girls making out. Not because you get double of everything, but it just looks right, 2 gay men making out is like :rolleye:.
2 Japanese women is even better.(cause we all know they look the finest) 2 Japanese men is worse than 2 american men.
"LIVE FREE OR DIE" has never been so true.
