New Hampshire legislators vote for gay marriage

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — The New Hampshire Legislature has passed a bill allowing gay marriage, but the governor hasn't said whether he'll sign it.

Maine legislators voted earlier Wednesday to approve gay marriage. If it becomes law in both states, they would be the fifth and sixth to allow the practice.

The New Hampshire House voted Wednesday for a version of the bill passed by the Senate last week.

Gov. John Lynch has said he believes the word "marriage" should be reserved for the union of a man and a woman.

But he has not said whether he would sign the bill, veto it or let it become law without his signature.
