Same-sex marriage in New Hampshire
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Same-sex marriage has been legal in New Hampshire since January 1, 2010, based on legislation signed into law by Governor John Lynch on June 3, 2009. The law provided that civil unions, which the state had established on January 1, 2008, would be converted to marriages on January 1, 2011, unless dissolved, annulled, or converted to marriage before that date.
New Hampshire was the fifth U.S. state, after Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa and Vermont, and the fourth in New England to legalize same-sex marriage.
