NJ to Vote on Gay Marriage

On February 7, 2012, MSNBC published an article about a NJ Assembly scheduled to vote on gay marriage. The vote is scheduled to take place on February 16, 2012, to hopefully grant same sex couples the right to marry in New Jersey.  Reed Gusciora, an openly gay assemblyman and sponsor of the bill, feels they will get the 41 votes needed for passage.  Of course, there may be a problem once it reaches Gov. Chris Christie.  He has said he will veto the bill if it lands on his desk.  According to the article, "Democrats need 27 votes in the Senate and 54 in the Assembly for veto-proof majorities" which will prove to be quite difficult.  Although it seems that it may not pass this time around, I hope the gay advocacy groups continue to fight for this freedom that everyone deserves.  It saddens me that we do not have more states in this country allowing gay marriage, as I feel it is unconstitutional and inhumane.  Everyone deserves the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
