New Hampshire wont ban gay conversion therapy for minors this year, after a House committee voted this week to hold back the bill.
In a 13-8 vote, the House Health, Human Services and Elderly Affairs committee retained the legislation Tuesday over concerns that it limits parental rights and counseling for youth working through their sexuality, members said.

Its another year to go without protections for people, said Democratic Rep. Renny Cushing, a co-sponsor on both pieces of legislation.

My regrets that I did not attain the level of awesomeness that is expected from me.
