CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A House committee will recommend whether New Hampshire's five-week-old gay marriage law should be repealed.
The Judiciary Committee also votes Tuesday whether to support a constitutional amendment banning gay unions. Gay marriage opponents know their chance of success is slim, but they want to keep the issue before voters in hopes Republicans will regain control of the Statehouse from Democrats in November and succeed then in repealing the law.
The House next acts on the recommendations.
New Hampshire became the fifth state to legalize gay marriage on Jan. 1.
