New Hampshire House Bill 1432, which will add 'sexual orientation' to the 
state's civil rights bill was passed by the House Judiciary Committee on 
Tuesday by a vote of 14 to 4 (with three not voting).  The only change to 
the bill was a 'no promo homo' amendment, which will be attached to the 
entire civil rights bill, and basically says that the state of New 
Hampshire in protecting Civil rights for all these different groups does 
not condone their beliefs, actions, etc.  This amendment is very mild, 
and is viewed as a victory by members of the NH Coalition to End 
Discrimination.
	The bill will go to a vote before the full house sometime next 
week. IF YOU LIVE IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, contact your represetative(s), and 
let them know you want this bill to pass.  If you are not sure who your 
representatives are, either contact your town offices, the state capitol 
at 271-1110, or e-mail me at bdenehy@keene.edu.  The larger the margain 
that the bill passes in the house, the more of a chance the governor will 
sign it.
