Resolution Honoring New Hampshire Pride Day, June 19, 1999
New Hampshire State Senate, Concord, New Hampshire
Whereas, New Hampshire Pride Day is for all of New Hampshire’s people to come together as one community and unify us as Granite Staters; and
Whereas, New Hampshire has become a state that embraces diversity at all levels and holds true to civil rights for all; and
Whereas, New Hampshire is one of only 11 states in the nation not only to recognize equal rights for gays and lesbians, but also to guarantee that gays and lesbians cannot be discriminated against in employment, housing public accommodation or credit; and
Whereas, gays and lesbians are protected in New Hampshire by a strong hate crimes statute that seeks
to prevent abominable and horrific crimes such as those committed against Matthew Shepard; and
Whereas, adults in New Hampshire can choose their own guardians – thereby allowing domestic partners to care for one another and make medical decisions in times of infirmity or incapacity; and
Whereas, gays and lesbians can now adopt children and be foster parents in New Hampshire allowing for the promotion of true family values; and
Whereas, New Hampshire is on the verge of enacting a civil rights bill that will allow gays and lesbians to obtain restraining orders against their harassers;
Now Therefore, pursuant to a motion of Senator Rick Trombly:
Be It Resolved, by the New Hampshire Senate that this legislative body hereby congratulates and honors New Hampshire’s Gay and Lesbian Community on this day that truly represents our “Live Free or Die” philosophy.
