NJ Gay Marriage Decision being handed down TOMMOROW

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

I just got this email from Garden State Equality. The polls show that the majority of NJ residents support gay marriage (56% to 39%) and 77% considered it a non-issue, so I'm not too concerned about it affected Menendez much.

URGENT BULLETIN: The New Jersey Supreme Court will hand down its ruling in the marriage equality case Wednesday, October 25, 2006 at 3:00 pm. THIS SUPERCEDES THE COURT'S EARLIER ANNOUNCEMENT THAT THERE WOULD BE NO DECISIONS COMING DOWN ON WEDNESDAY. The Court will post the decision at http://www.judiciary.state.nj.us/opinions/index.htm

Please attend Garden State Equality's statewide rally for marriage equality Wednesday night at 7:00 pm, Unitarian Church of Montclair, 67 Church Street, downtown Montclair. The rally supercedes any other event we have e-mailed you about.

Right now please call as many people as you can, and please forward this e-mail to every New Jersey resident whose e-mail you have, to get them to Wednesday night's 7:00 pm rally.

This e-mail must spread like instant wildfire to get people to Wednesday night's 7:oo pm rally on such short notice.

COME TO WEDNESDAY NIGHT'S 7:00 pm RALLY WHETHER OUR SIDE WINS OR LOSES THE CASE. Should our side win, you'll tell the State Legislature to leave the decision alone. Should our side lose, you'll tell the State Legislature to give us marriage equality by passing a bill.

Either way, our fight continues, our work continues -- we must send an unmistakable signal to the world! Please attend Garden State Equality's statewide rally for marriage equality Wednesday night at 7:00 pm, Unitarian Church of Montclair, 67 Church Street, downtown Montclair.

1. Good Luck

from your neighbor. You started with Domestic Partnerships and now are working toward full equality. We here in your neighboring state have done nothing, although polls here show about the same support among the public for gay marriage as in NJ.

I guess we New Yorkers will just have to wait for Elliot Spitzer and ouster of the Republican controlled legislature.

2. I am ordained, one of those fake ordinations, but still . .

I can perform marriages. :)

I told some friends of mine that I would marry them if NJ finally gets gay marriage. :)

They have two adopted children and it would be great for them. It's a huge hassle with health insurance, benefits, etc without the benefit of marriage.

3. Sounds like de ja vu to me?

i remember the Massachusetts judge's decision before the last election. It was not helpful.

5. Hopefully the courts make the right decision in this case

and we can prove once and for all that gay marriage will not cause the sky to fall

She hopes to be able to turn her DP into her wife after tomorrow.
