So if you've not heard, the Prop 8 trial that was originally going to be on youtube and then wasn't is now on youtube...sorta.

The Governor signed it, so effective January 1, 2010, same gendered New Hampshire-ites (New Hampshires? New Hampshirians?) will be able to get married to each other. Unlike a certain other state I could mention, but I'm not bitter.
