Gay Marriage (almost) in New Jersey

Gays in the Garden State are celebrating.
Today at 3pm, the New Jersey State Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional to deny the same rights to gay couples that straight couples have.
I know, obvious to us. But the rest of this country is sooooo far behind.
The court did not grant gay marriages because they can’t; they’re a court. Instead, the Justices instructed the New Jersey State Legislature to remedy the situation – make things equal – within 180 days.
So by March, maybe Spring Break, Easter, or April Fools' Day (fools being the conservatives), New Jersey will either have gay marriage (like those available to Massachusetts citizens) or civil unions (which is what you can get if you live in Vermont). Those, unfortunately, are the only two states – and damn small ones! – to move gays from the back of the so-called bus.
Word of warning before gay men and lesbians start buying tickets to New Jersey to tie the knot. This is a very similar situation to what happened in Massachusets a few years ago, and the state legislature responded by legalizing gay marriage AND by trying to pass a constitutional amendment to outlawing gay marriage.

Watch your tongues, gay people, when it comes to dissing conservatives for what you perceive to be their opinions on gay marriage. New Jersey's governor John Corzine doesn't want the legislature to approve gay marriage but prefers civil unions. You are such a small minority and seem to be getting your way in this, so appreciate what you've achieved and stop the conservative bashing. Even some liberals don't think you have the right to "marriage."
