Garden State

Well played, New Jersey. Very well played.

NJ legislature: marriage is marriage. Civil unions are not.

Keep the momentum going, ‘k?

    I’m diasppointed. I hoped they’d go for full marriage, just like the SJC in MA.

    It wasn’t the Full Monty… but it’s a step in the right direction. One small victory will lead to others. :-) It’s better than living here in the Deep South where the two major arguments against allowing couples of the same sex to marry are: 1) ‘cuz G-d said it ain’t right; and 2) if we do that, people will want to start marrying cows and horses and stuff…..
    I’m so proud. (Hmmmmm, when does the next bus leave?)

    I’m disappointed/excited/worried all at once: in the end, things will go our way, but I seriously doubt I’ll ever be legally married in my state of current residence. Still, nice to know there’s another state worth moving to!

    If only the decision was timed differently, with the new (democrat) chief justice instead of the 70 year old retiring republican - and after the mid-term elections, I think it could have been different - better - but it’s a 90 page decision that I haven’t plowed through yet.
