Same-Sex Marriage in New Jersey
October 25, 2006 5:30 PM

....Gays and lesbians work in every profession, business, and trade. They are educators, architects, police officers, fire officials, doctors, lawyers, electricians, and construction workers. They serve on township boards, in civic organizations, and in church groups that minister to the needy. They are mothers and fathers. They are our neighbors, our co-workers, and our friends. In light of the policies reflected in the statutory and decisional laws of this State, we cannot find a legitimate public need for an unequal legal scheme of benefits and privileges that disadvantages committed same-sex couples.

New Jersey's Supreme Court has ruled that gay couples are entitled to the same rights as heterosexual couples.

Let's see what the legislature does next.
