| Hello Return to index of stories... |
Hello. I'm Beth Carroll. Welcome to New Hampshire Outlook. |
| Intro Richard Return to index of stories... |
After four hours of emotional and often personal debate, House Lawmakers voted to ban recognition of gay marriages in NH. Richard Ager was there and joins us now with highlights. Richard. |
| Intro Gay Marriage Return to index of stories... |
Senate bill 427, referred to as the gay marriage bill, would ban recognition of same sex marriage or its equivalent - from out of state - for two years. That time period is important because that's when a commission created by the bill would study the issue and set the framework for a statewide debate on civil unions and same-sex marriage. Rep. Tony Soltani spoke for the majority of the Judiciary committee which voted 13-8 to recommend the bill pass. |
| Buckley Return to index of stories... |
In other words, NH law now discriminates against gays and lesbians and it would be unfair not to discriminate against out-of-state gays and or lesbians who might get married in Massachusetts and move here. Soltani insisted there was no hurt or hate in the hearts of the committee, but Rep. Ray Buckley, one of several openly gay members, wasn't buying. In one of several highly emotional speeches heard today, Buckley made his feelings plain. |
| Corbin Return to index of stories... |
It was a 4 hour debate full of very personal stories. Republican Corey Corbin of Sandown told of serving as an army officer for 8 years, and also being gay. He talked about hurtful testimony by other members who supported the bill, including one who stated that gay relationships were only about sex, and not love. Corbin said that isn't so for him and his partner - or other gays and lesbians. |
| Woods/Valil/Hatay Return to index of stories... |
18 members spoke against the bill, only 3 spoke in favor. One of those, Republican Phyllis Woods of Dover, tried to bring the debate back to the language contained in the bill - as she referred to what some see as a loophole in existing law. But overall, talk of the language of the bill was overshadowed by the raw nerves that it touched. |
| Q&A #1 Return to index of stories... |
What was the vote? Mood of the House? Intro Pratt/Mock. I spoke with the Judiciary Committee chairman Henry Mock and Rep. John Pratt of Walpole who has been one of the most outspoken critics of this bill. |
| Intro Granite State Return to index of stories... |
It could be a long bumpy ride for Democratic challengers hoping to un-seat Governor Craig Benson this November. Andy Smith of the UNH Survey Center talked to reporter Julie Donnelly about the latest results of his Granite State Poll. |

| Intro Poetry Return to index of stories... |
Finally, in case you didn't know it, April is National Poetry Month. And poetry is certainly popular here in New Hampshire. We thought it would be a great time to revisit a story Chip Neal brought us of a new and exciting kind of poetry gaining in popularity around the country. |
| Poetry Slam Return to index of stories... |
We attend the "Slam-O-Rama" Invitational Poetry slam at the New Hampshire Institute of Art in Manchester. Organized by the New Hampshire Writer's Project this event included a slam poetry workshop and an open mike for amateur poets. And then a poetry slam with some of the top New England slam poets. Slams are competitions between poets who stand on stage and perform their poems which have to be less than 3:00 long. Then they are judged on performance and content by 5 judges selected from the audience. After 3 rounds one poet is selected the winner. We spoke with two of the slam poets who talked about the differences between regular poetry and slam poetry. And we see excerpts from some of the performances. Topics ranged from homosexuality to catholic guilt to preparing for your first real kiss. |
