In fact, the new law may arguably be even better than gay marriage from a purely libertarian perspecitve, as it allows even heterosexual couples of any combination of genders to form a contractual civil union.

What’s more it’s unlikely that the bill will come anywhere near passing and it’s opposed by many other RLC endorsees in the NH House.

Never mind. I did the research myself. As I should have guessed, you substantially misrepresented the situation. The legislation proposed by an RLC endorsee is not as you described. It does not interfere with legal contracts in any way. It preserves the contractual legality of gay marriages as civil unions and does nothing but change the terminology from referring to them as a “marriage” to referring to them as “civil unions” – no changes would be made to the rights of gay couples under the revised law.

James, there’s nothing about that in this article. Could you direct me to your source? If you read our statement of principles we clearly would not support such a position, but sometimes endorsees fail to follow our principles for a variety of reasons. When that happens we do what we can to disavow their actions and hold them accountable.

So, a member of the RLC is sponsoring the reregulation of marriage in New Hampshire because government doesn’t intrude into legal contracts enough. This is why I contend the RLC is a fraud. You are big government Republicans with a moralistic agenda.

Oh my gosh. I just realized Dan and Carol are a husband/wife team of libertarian Republican legislators.

This keeps getting better and better.
