Here is the latest on anti-discrimination and same sex unions across the United States:

One of the bills proposes that same sex couples can form "legally recognized partnerships".
Iowa Pastors Call for Passage of Gay Civil Rights Law
More than a dozen church leaders support gay civil rights...unfortunately, Iowa Democrats and Republicans may not be in agreement.
Gay Bishop Urges Approval of Civil Unions in New Hampshire
Compare Episcopal Bishop Gene Robinson's arguments in favor of civil unions to those of Diane Murphy Quinlan, Roman Catholic chancellor of the Diocese of Manchester. Who wins?
In any case, New Hampshire is nearly surrounded: same sex unions are legal in Massachussets, Vermont, and Quebec, and all New England states have passed comprehensive antidiscrimination legislation. Time to get with the program.
