3 Obtaining Legal Status of Marriage. Amend RSA 457:46, I to read as follows:
I. Notwithstanding the provisions of RSA 457-A, no new civil unions shall be established on or after January 1, 2010. Two consenting persons who are parties to a valid civil union entered into prior to January 1, 2010 pursuant to this chapter may apply and receive a marriage license and have such marriage solemnized pursuant to RSA 457, provided that the parties are otherwise eligible to marry under RSA 457 and the parties to the marriage are the same as the parties to the civil union. Such parties may also apply by January 1, 2011 to the clerk of the town or city in which their civil union is recorded to have their civil union legally designated and recorded as a marriage, without any additional requirements of payment of marriage licensing fees or solemnization contained in RSA 457, provided that such parties’ civil union was not previously dissolved or annulled. Upon application, the parties shall be issued a marriage certificate, and such marriage certificate shall be recorded with the division of vital records administration. Any civil union shall be dissolved by operation of law by any marriage of the same parties to each other, as of the date of the marriage stated in the certificate.

This is ridiculous, I have a gay couple that comes to my church. If god created us all then why would he create people he doesn't love? Supposedly god loves all his children anyway, god doesn't discriminate. And why did you say that we as heterosexuals are allowed to discriminate? And that by arresting us for discriminating against homosexuals it's taking away our freedom? That's just a silly argument. Also may I add this is obviously not a choice, no one would choose to be ridiculed and teased? They were born that way, god made them that way. They are not going around murdering people or mugging people, they're not doing anything wrong. Lastly how does this effect you sir? How does two men or two women getting married effect you personally? Okay so you think they'll go to hell is you lie with another man, then you don't do it but who cares if that's what someone else wants to do? There are heterosexual couples that are married and cheating on each other, or in an abusive relationship, or have been divorced 6 times. If two people are in love just leave them alone to be happy and get married.
Let me just add this is coming from a heterosexual person who is actually intelligent.
If you read Leviticus in the Old Testament, Chapter 20 verse 13, you will see that homosexuality is an abomination. The Bible is the word of God. The founding fathers of the United States Constitution, believed in God. The pledge of allegiance states:
"…and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
It is clear this nation was formed under a belief in obedience to our creator, our God! God has told us that homosexuality is an abomination. It is unnatural and not a design of God. There is not one person on earth who was born from Homosexuality or Homosexual parents. Not one! If homosexuality flourished, children would no longer be born on earth and earth will stop being populated. Earth would fall. Homosexuality is wickedness and again, is stated in the Bible as an abomination. Enforcing non-discrimination of homosexuality in effect allows it to occur. Law enforcement then will begin to arrest individuals for violation of this "so-called discrimination of homosexuals" and good honest heterosexual people will begin to lose their freedom. Families will be broken up and children will not be born to homosexuals. Life on Earth would turn to chaos and confusion.
Please outlaw homosexuality and conform to the laws of God. It is God who created all of us and it is HIS will that will bring peace and prosperity. Wickedness never was happiness and never will be. We must learn to obey our creator as the founding fathers desired.
