A Small Yet Substantial Victory
October 25th, 2006
New Jersey's supreme court ruled on Wednesday in favor of recognizing same-sex unions and granting gays and lesbians the same rights, privileges and protections as heterosexual couples.
What makes this move quite thrilling is that unlike Massachusetts, New Jersey has no laws barring out of state couples to wed. So....gays and lesbians can marry in NJ and then go back to their home their home state and challenge those laws to recognize the Jersey marriage.
A change is a-coming!!!!
P.S. This wonderful step towards full equality and recognition under the law would not have been possible without the wonderful work of Lambda Legal, gay and lesbian advocates and defenders. To find out how U can help, click here!!
