• The New Hampshire legislative approved of same-sex civil unions today, sending the bill to Gov. John Lynch, who has said he will sign it, joining NH with New Jersey, Connecticut and Vermont.
• Iowa today extended civil rights protections to LGBT folks in an ENDA-tpe bill that took 15 years to gather enough votes to pass.
• Almost two-thirds of polled New Yorkers statewide support Gov. Spitzer's forthcoming gay marriage bill.
