The Civil Union Discussion in New Hampshire

How ready is our state for the possibility of civil unions? After a host of bills concerning the union of same sex couples that have ranged from marriage to contractual cohabitation to an amendment defining marriage between a man and a woman, it seems as if civil unions has come out on top. The bill has passed the House, Governor Lynch has said he'll sign it and it now awaits a full Senate vote. A panel of players in the same sex union debate join us to talk about what may be next and if New Hampshire is ready to be the fourth state in the nation to allow for civil unions.
