US Politics Feature: Forget Gay Marriage --- The Threat is From Left-Handed People

The Associated Press reports:

A state lawmaker opposed to repealing New Hampshire's gay marriage law plans to offer a tongue-in-cheek amendment to the repeal bill when it comes up for a vote next week that would bar a left-handed person from marrying another left-handed person.

State Rep. Seth Cohn, a Canterbury Republican, plans to offer that amendment Wednesday when a bill sponsored by Rep. David Bates is debated. Bates, a Windham Republican, proposes to repeal the gay marriage law in effect since 2010 and replace it with civil unions for same-sex couples.

Cohn was a co-sponsor last year on a bill that would have replaced marriage for heterosexual and same-sex couples with domestic unions. The House killed the bill which would have established marriage as a cultural and individual right apart from governmental definition.
