(Concord, USA) - Protests by an anti-gay group near the funeral of Army Capt. Jonathan Grassbaugh in Hampstead last month have inspired a last-minute effort to ban demonstrations near funerals. The ban was added as an amendment to an unrelated bill, establishing a New Hampshire Medal of Honor, that is working its way through the Legislature.
