Gay marriage opponents say they’ll keep working to repeal New Hampshire’s two-year-old law even if House Republicans aren’t making it a priority.
Kevin Smith, of the conservative Cornerstone Action, said Thursday the House must vote on legislation to repeal same-sex marriage. He said if it isn’t this year, it will be next year.
Gay marriage was enacted in 2009 when Democrats controlled the Legislature. Democratic Gov. John Lynch signed the law and has since said he would veto any repeal attempt.
Conservatives were hoping for enough votes for both a repeal and veto override after voters in November gave Republicans control of the Legislature.
