same-sex marriage

They say it ain't over 'til it's over, and despite Gov. Chris Christie's decision to drop an appeal in a lawsuit, the gay marriage saga in New Jersey isn't quite over yet.

A solid majority of Garden State residents agree with the Christie Administration’s decision to drop its appeal in the same-sex marriage lawsuit today. According to a new Rutgers-Eagleton poll support for legalizing same-sex marriage in New Jersey now stands at 61 percent, versus 27 percent who oppose and 12 percent who aren’t sure.

Unless the New Jersey Supreme Court grants the Christie Administration’s motion for a stay, the state will have to comply with Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson’s order that same-sex marriages should be permitted in the Garden State starting Oct. 21. Assemblyman Reed Gusciora wants clarification now on whether gay couples can or can't apply for marriage licenses today.

At least one New Jersey town began issuing marriage licenses to gay couples Thursday to comply with a court order to allow same-sex marriages starting Monday.

One week ago, a judge denied the Christie Administration's motion to delay the start of same-sex marriage in New Jersey. The Administration appealed the same day, but if a stay isn't granted the state must start to allow gay couples to marry on Oct. 21. Exactly when the first marriage of a same-sex couple can actually take place is still uncertain.

A New Jersey judge has turned down a request by the Christie administration to delay a ruling that allows same-sex couples to marry starting on Oct. 21, but that won't stop the legal wrangling over the issue.
