In New Jersey: Democrats will Introduce a Marriage Equality bill


Dems in the New Jersey will put a gay marriage bill back on the table, hoping to get enough support to pass it through.
"Steve Sweeney is the change," said State Sen. Loretta Weinberg (D-Bergen), who confirmed Democrats would hold a news conference today announcing the bill will be their priority in the two-year session that begins Tuesday. "The Senate President. It’s not just Steve Sweeney the individual. It’s the Senate President who brings along votes with him."


The Senate rejected a gay marriage bill in January 2010, with 20 voting no, 14 yes, and three abstaining – including Sweeney, who was not yet leader of the upper house. He has since called his non-vote a big mistake.
The biggest problem will be Gov. Chris Christie; he has stated that he opposes gay marriage. But I'm sure this is going to motivate the gay community in New Jersey to make this happen.

Maybe Jersey Shore can change their tune.

That fat fuck Christie will never sign that bill.

I'm very laid back and easy going. I like to meet people, read, talk about politics, culture and life. I am a huge comic book fan (X-Men family and Wonder Woman) I also want to say that I am a proud black gay man...no 'down low' drama here
