gay marriage

Six days ago Governor Christie proposed putting the gay marriage issue on the ballot - in the form of a Constitutional amendment -for Jersey voters to decide in November.

One reason gay rights groups don't want to see a public vote on gay marriage in New Jersey is that they know the odds are against them.

The State House is expected to be buzzing again on Thursday when the Assembly Judiciary Committee  meets to consider the Marriage Equality and Religious Exemption Act, which would legalize gay marriage in New Jersey.

Should the State Legislature and the Governor decide if gay marriage should be legal in New Jersey or should the people of the Garden State make that decision?

Two of New Jersey's most influential black leaders are blasting Gov. Chris Christie for wanting to put gay marriage up for a popular vote.

Cynthia Nixon made comments recently about her being gay by choice. The comment resulted in some backlash, but she is standing by her statement.  This has resulted in more media coverage into Nixon's personal life, which has put more attention on Nixon's longtime partner Christine Marinoni.

The ongoing struggle for gay marriage in this country has been called the last push of the civil rights movement. So let's compare the two.

Governor Christie wants Jersey voters, not the Legislature, to decide whether gay marriage should be allowed in the Garden state.

A bill to legalize same-sex marriage in the Garden State has been approved by the State Senate Judiciary panel setting the stage for a vote in the full Upper House next month.

Along party lines, the State Senate Judiciary Committee has approved legislation to legalize same-sex marriage in New Jersey. The bill is now poised for a vote in the full Upper House next month.
