125k sign petition started by marine who wants to be best man at his brother’s wedding

125,000 sign Iraq veteran’s petition to keep New Hampshire’s equal marriage law

125,000 people across the US have called on New Hampshire’s legislature to keep the state’s equal marriage laws in a vote tomorrow, signing a petition started by marine who wants to be best man at his brother’s wedding.

Craig Stowell, a married marine, said he started the Change.org petition to lobby lawmakers to protect the marriage laws for his brother, who, he said, finally felt accepted under the law.

New Hampshire’s equal marriage law has been under attack since it came into effect in 2010 and progress on a repeal bill was delayed from early last year to this month.
