N.J. governor signs gay civil unions law
TOM HESTER Jr., Associated Press Writer
TRENTON, N.J. - New Jersey's governor signed legislation Thursday giving gay couples all the rights and responsibilities of marriage allowed under state law — but not the title.
When the law goes into effect Feb. 19, New Jersey will become the third state offering civil unions to gay couples and the fifth allowing gay couples some version of marriage.
Connecticut and Vermont also offer civil unions for gay couples, while Massachusetts allows gay couples to marry, and California has domestic partnerships that bring full marriage rights under state law. Read more here.
I tend to be somewhat sympathetic on this one but haven't really thought about it enough to have an informed opinion. Anyone have an opinion on this?

ReplyDeleteSympathetic is a good word.
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting for a good answer on this. It's easy to say what's wrong, but hard to say what's right.
