New England: The Next Battle Zone for Marriage Equality

From source Edge New England:

GLAD (Gay and Lesbian Advocates and Defenders) have published a report in the January 4th edition of The Washington Times that outlines a directive to align the remaining 4 New England states - Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and Rhode Island - with Massachusetts and Connecticut in the goal of implementing marriage rights for all. 

Currently, Massachusetts and Connecticut are the only 2 New England states to allow gay marriage.  Vermont and New Hampshire have civil union laws already on the books.  GLAD's ultimate goal is to ensure that laws to allow gay marriage in the remaining 4 states are in place by 2012.

State representatives in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont are already introducing separate bills to initiate discussion that could possibly further equal marriage rights for the GLBT communities.
