Gay-Marriage Fight Heads to New Jersey [And Most Americans Are Now Pushing Back!]

Gay-Marriage Fight Heads to New Jersey

By KEITH J. WINSTEIN

The battle over gay rights will move to New Jersey and the federal government, advocates said, after Tuesday's narrow rejection of same-sex marriage by Maine voters in a hard-fought contest.

The Democrat-controlled legislature in New Jersey, which currently recognizes same-sex couples in civil unions, is under pressure to pass a bill authorizing gay marriage before Gov. Jon Corzine ends his term in mid-January.

Mr. Corzine, a Democrat unseated in Tuesday's election, said he would sign such a bill. His successor, Republican Chris Christie, opposes same-sex marriages.

"New Jersey is at the very top of our list, and it's going to happen in the next few weeks if it happens at all," said Maggie Gallagher, the president of the National Organization for Marriage, which opposes same-sex marriages. "They're doing it in a lame duck, because it's as far away from an election as possible."

Gay-marriage advocates have resisted "civil union" licenses, saying the separate term is demeaning and the status isn't honored by many employers.

Some gay-rights advocates said, their priorities have shifted away from the ballot box and toward nonmarital issues.

Thursday, a U.S. Senate committee held a hearing on a bill that would prevent businesses from discriminating against employees on the basis of sexual orientation or "gender-related" mannerisms. Thomas Perez, an assistant attorney general, called the bill, known as the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, "a top legislative priority for the Obama administration."

the sooner they get married, the sooner they’ll kill each other in divorce court.

The sooner they are allowed to get married, the sooner they will start indoctrinating your kids in the public schools.....as early as kindergarten!!!

Just like they are doing in Massachusetts.

It’s odd that a lot of gays don’t want to get married or be involved in this lunancy.

they've been doing that for generations, einstein.

That's why they CAN get "married."

Ousted Governor Corzine’s successor, Republican Chris Christie, like President Barack Obama, opposes same-sex marriages. Bammy sez, “I do not support gay marriage. Marriage has religious and social connotations, and I consider marriage to be between a man and a woman.”

I always have to laugh at the urine-stream media calling a 53% win “narrow” when Øbama won by that percentage.

Normalized for the unbelievable leverage and resources the gaystapo had at their disposal, I’d say that the pro-marriage forces probably actually won by 80% in today’s dollars.

I’m not worried about the alleged “closeness” of the voting results.I’m encouraged that this still can’t win even in LIBERAL states like Maine and California!(Where traditional marriage supporters are outspent and local government is against them!).Even Florida,which went for Obama,defeated gay “marriage” by over SIXTY percent.We’re 31 for 31!Momentum is on the side of traditional (REAL) marriage!

That’s because there are complications involved. You’d actually have to know the name of your anonymous sex partner that you met through a public restroom gloryhole before you could marry him.

Doing what "for generations?" Indoctrinating our kids?

Possibly. But if true, the indoctrination has more than likely occurred under cover of darkness and with older and more socially vulnerable pre-pubescent kids who might be more easily persuaded not to rat out the pervert teachers - not in such an "in your face" manner with kids as young as kindergarten with conscientious parents not even being allowed to opt their kids out.

Thank you massmike. I would only add here for people to see ( it is probably included in one of those articles you posted ) that in 2008, Governor Deval Patrick's daughter decided to "come out" as a lesbian, and the next day she and her father marched together in Boston's "Pride Parade."

http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2008/06/13/a_patrick_family_coming_out/

Also........

Gov. Deval Patrick’s 18-year-old daughter revealed she is a lesbian yesterday, earning praise from gay rights advocates for her courage and plaudits for her supportive and doting dad.

The governor - already a hero to gays nationwide for helping to block a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage - took the unusual step of breaking the news of his daughter Katherine’s sexual orientation in an interview published yesterday in Bay Windows, a weekly newspaper aimed at gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender readers.
