New Jersey State Senate To Vote On Gay Marriage
When Governor David Paterson ordered that state agencies should recognize out-of-state same-sex marriages, the battle lines were drawn. The Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal group, filed a lawsuit yesterday, with plaintiffs including state Assembly minority leader James Tedisco, Assemblymen Daniel Burling and Brian Kolb and state Sens. Martin Golden and Serphin Maltese, claiming that Paterson "sidestepped the democratic process." However, Judge Lucy Billings implied that she would side with Paterson, saying, "The petitioners, I'm sure, are headed to a higher court."

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

Ugh, Christians.... The most annoying of religious groups.
I tend to think that the (very small) religious group trying to kill us is a little more annoying, since they've been used to justify useless "security" and trillions in wasteful expenditures..
but yeah, this is annoying too.
I say with all sincerity and maturity: they all just need to get laid and chill the fuck out.
Luckily Christians are all really tolerant and accepting, so as soon as they've crushed the legal rights of others they'll hold up a sign saying, "Jesus hates fags" and everything will be alright.
methinks the alliance defense fund doth protest too much. perhaps they should just all come out of the closet already
Filed a lawsuit for what? You can't file a lawsuit just because you don't like something.
robingee: Filed a lawsuit for what? You can't file a lawsuit just because you don't like something.
Are you new to America? People do this all the time. It's stupid and it's a waste of time and taxpayer money, but by this point it's pretty much standard operating procedure for a sizable part of the population.
robingee the lawsuit claims that the governor doesn't have the power to recognize out-of-state marriages, and that the legislature has to pass a law to do so.
And its also nice that this group is from ARIZONA. Get the f*k out of our city and state and go back to your desert on the other side of the country. It should be illegal for someone who doesn't even live here to initiate this kind of crap. It was bigots from Virginia who got the California initiative on the upcoming ballot.
I'm willing to ban gay marriage so long as we can bring back the lions :)
Yea, who cares about democratic process... We want what we want!
