"Mark Lewis, who along with his partner of 12 years, Dennis Winslow, are two of the plaintiffs in the case. As Episcopal ministers, they perform marriages for other couples but are themselves denied that legal document, he said at the town meeting.

Two other plaintiffs, Karen Nicholson-McFadden, and her partner, Marcye Nicholson-McFadden, tearfully described the thicket of paperwork they must navigate to make sure their young children have medical coverage. Each woman has conceived a child through artificial insemination, but their children do hot have all the same legal rights of a family. For example, the woman who is not biologically related to the child cannot claim the child on health insurance until after going through an adoption.

A nurse and mother of five, Marilyn Maneely, 53, and her partner for the last 12 years, Diane Marini, are also part of the lawsuit.

Marini said her 86-year-old mother has witnessed women get the right to vote in 1920, the desegregation of schools in 1954 and the passage of Title 9, which gave women greater opportunities in sports, in 1972.

"I am hoping during her lifetime, she'll see marriage for gay couples," said Marini. "When New Jersey passes, this we'll all have large weddings," Marini said. "

This whole thing just makes me sick. I think the argument is simply that marriage BY DEFINITION is a union between a mand and a woman. Are we going to throw out 2000 years of morality because we are now so 'enlightened'?

I'm still waiting for one of these "gay marriage" lawsuits to be filed by co-plaintiffs named Henry Fitzpatrick and Patrick Fitzhenry.

Are we going to throw out 2000 years of morality because we are now so 'enlightened'?

That seems to be the general plan on the part of those opposed to traditional social structures and morality. Hard to tell where it will all end.
