Statement From The Coalition: No Place For Rhetoric In New Hampshire

For Release on Tuesday March 2, 2021:

The New Hampshire Progressive Coalition condemns in the strongest possible terms the homophobic rhetoric employed by Representative Dick Marston (R. Manchester) during a hearing for HB238 on Monday.  Rep. Marston’s language was hurtful and discriminatory, and it contributes to exactly the kind of violence the bill seeks to address. We call upon Speaker Packard to address this culture of homophobia in the House in general, and with Rep. Marston in particular.
