Well you're seeing it a bit more simplistically than it actually is.
The NJ Supreme court only ruled that gay marriages would be legal. They did say that the state legislature has six months to figure out how that's going to be accomplished, but it's not been put into practice yet.
The good news is the steps have been taken in the right direction. Now it's a "wait and see" situation!

I'm a straight black woman and I live in NJ and feel that the ruling should be nation wide. But you know it's much harder to get such privileges in the South. I don't know what in the hell is wrong with those people. I lived in the South twice and ran back home every time. Gay people don't bother me. People are people. What anyone does behind closed doors is their business and if Gays want to get married, hell I'll go to the wedding if they invite me because the best part of the wedding is the reception. Big Fun!

Definitely. Why should we be second-class citizens? We pay taxes and contribute to society in ways that are just as valid and meaningful as straight people.
In Canada, we have had same sex marriage legalized for a while, but now the stupid conservative government wants to re-introduce a new vote. They are beating a dead horse, idiots that they are. The other politicians have all said that they will defeat any trouble that the homophobic conservatives want to raise.
But, good for the folks in NJ!

Yes I am. Gay people need to be able to form legal partnerships giving them the same rights as straight people. Regardless of how the legislature winds up wording the bill, the important thing is the rights. We do not need marriage, the word makes straight people squirm. Marriage is a religeous institution, and should be between 2 people and their church, it has nothing to do with the government. As long as the govt gives us partnerships with equal rights for insurance, pensions, employee benefits etc., this is all that we need.

Absolutely! Legalized discrimination is awful, and this turns the tables a bit in the right direction. I hope the legislature in NJ acts wisely and comes up with a decent law that doesn't hinder the process.

Its a great step in the right direction!! Mass was pretty much the stepping stone...but, if marriage is passed in NJ, u dont have to reside there for 6 months before they'll marry you...which is great for us Philadelphian's who only live right over the bridge!

i don't have contempt for homosexuals. yet, i might desire to confess that many flamboyant human beings stress me insane. despite the fact that, what you describe isn't flamboyant particularly that's redneck. It too could be a difficulty because it makes a Southern guy out to be a oaf. regrettably many i be attentive to fall in this standards. To me a flamboyant guy is what many call a metro sexual. is going and gets his face executed and nails besides. His hair decrease fees as much as a woman and has greater shoes than needed. tendencies stress me loopy.

Yes, i believe in equal rights. Everyone deserve to have the same rights at straights.

To be honest. I don't care because I feel that Gay people should be given the same right as others.

Yep, plus some of the judges recommended same-sex marriage.
That's one more barrier crossed, but there are still 48 states against gay marriage to go...We'll make it. Gay Pride!!!!!!!
