Gay Marriage Comes to NJ!
So, this may not be the best place to post this, but no one seems to use this community anymore, and same-gender marriage does affect about 10% of people living in NJ.
I've been working with Garden State Equality for same-gender marriage equality in New Jersey since I graduated Drew last May. We've motivated thousands of people across the state as well as in Philadelphia and New York City to join us in this fight. Last year, a bi-partisan, state-run commission found that civil unions do not give the same rights and privileges as marriage in NJ. Imagine wanting to see your loved one in the hospital and being denied! Or having to carry your civil union papers with you whenever you travel out of state...
Unfortunately, anti-equality advocates have been ramping up the pressure on the legislators. They are collecting thousands of signatures after Church services across the state and motivating social conservatives to vote against equal rights. We know that a majority of New Jerseyans do support marriage equality - we just need to make our voices heard!
The NJ State Legislature will be voting on this issue this November/December!
NJ LGBT organizations need help NOW. In another few weeks, it'll be too late. If we lose this chance at marriage equality, it could be another 8 years until we can try again. See www.GardenStateEquality.org for more information on how you can help out. Don't miss out on this historic fight!
