John Lynch on Civil Rights

Democratic NH Governor


Legalized gay marriage so same-sex couples have same rights

Today, we are standing up for the liberties of same-sex couples by making clear that they will receive the same rights, responsibilities--and respect--under New Hampshire law.

Encourage diversity without discrimination

Q: Affirmative Action: Should race, ethnicity or gender be taken into account in state agencies’ decisions on hiring & admissions?

A: As Governor, I will continue working to make sure we do not discriminate against any of our citizens, on any basis, and that we encourage diversity in state government and at our state institutions.
