BostonChannel: Judge Says N.H. Gays Face Discrimination

TheBostonChannel.com says ...
In a major ruling, a judge has ruled that New Hampshire discriminates against gay state employees by denying them family benefits.

Merrimack County Superior Court Judge Kathleen McGuire ruled this week that because the state bars gays and lesbians from marrying, requiring its employees to be married to get family benefits is discriminatory. ...

Perhaps most interesting is this:
The ruling reverses a decision by the state Human Rights Commission.
Perhaps the New Hampshire state Human Rights Commission needs new members. They don't seem to be doing a great job at supporting human rights.
