New Hampshire House Could Delay Gay Marriage Fight

HARCOURT MEDIA REPORTS " New Hampshires House Republican leader said Friday he will ask that the fight to repeal gay marriage be postponed until 2012. Rep. D.J. Bettencourt told The Associated Press he will ask the committee responsible for the repeal bill to retain it until next year. Bettencourt said the National Organization for Marriage sent a direct mailer to his district in Salem saying he doesnt support traditional family values. He said the mailer was the result of his announcement last week that the House Republican agenda did not include repealing gay marriage. Bettencourt said the incident shows how controversial the issue is and reinforces his belief the House should focus on fiscal issues this year.
