The New Hampshire House and Senate will vote Wednesday on compromise language to strengthen protections for churches, their employees and religious groups that object to gay marriage.

Gov. John Lynch demanded the protections to get his signature on legislation that would make New Hampshire the sixth state to allow gays to marry.

The House rejected language Lynch proposed by two votes last month. The compromise adds a sentence specifying that all religious organizations, associations or societies have exclusive control over their religious doctrines, policies, teachings and beliefs on marriage.

It also clarifies that church-related organizations that serve charitable or educational purposes are exempt from having to provide insurance and other benefits to same sex spouses of employees.
