New Jersey Senate Defeats Democrat Gay Marriage Bill, 20-14.
Leroy N. Soetoro
TRENTON, N.J. -- New Jersey's state Senate has defeated a bill to legalize
gay marriage, the latest in a string of setbacks for advocates.
The defeat, by a vote of 20-14, likely ends any chance that the state
Legislature approves gay marriage soon. Five senators did not vote; there
is one Senate vacancy.
Gay rights advocates had been pushing hard for the bill because on Jan.
19, new Republican Gov. Chris Christie takes office and he has vowed to
veto a gay marriage bill. Outgoing Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine had
promised to sign it into law.
It was a major effort to get the bill to a full Senate. A vote was
canceled last month when it appeared the measure would be defeated there.
It wasn't until Tuesday that Senate leaders decided to allow the vote.
New Jersey offers civil unions that grant the legal rights of marriage to
gay couples.

Wow, who would've thought that liberal New Jersey would vote for a
Republican Governor and a State Senate who would turn down gay marriage!!

Those damn bigots. I'm a good mind to give them some OCR points.
Queers need to get married. Dick-sucking should be given the respect it
deserves.
Nothing is better than the taste of a big, black dick in the morning.
Some queers only suck white dicks, but they are bigoted queers.
THREE CHEERS FOR THE QUEERS.

They don't care. When a vote goes the way they want it to,
they think people who don't like it should be satisfied with the
"democratic process", and when it goes like it did in California, they
advocate attacks on backers of whatever bill they don't like.

Right, but that isn't good enough because what the "advocates"
really want is a way to criticize views they don't like, such as suing
ministers or churches that won't marry them.
Personally, I'm not against gay marriage on principal, but I
don't like their tactics about trying to make people think they're
okay.
