I know, right? Next thing you know, gay people will be allowed to vote and use straight people's drinking fountains and stuff.

Just for Fun: I live in CT, where we also have civil unions. We are entitled to share health benefits, have right of inheritance, have child custody rights, and - as my partner is a state employee - I am eligible for his pension upon his death.
Please explain exactly how visiting an attorney would have gained those rights for us?
Civil unions are NOT equal - but they're a step in the right direction.

Until all the benefits offered married couples including Social Security gay unions are nothing more then legally binding contracts that offer nothing you can not already negotiate with an attorney ..

Remember, this was mandated by the New Jersey Supreme Court. It's not like the gov. is doing this on his/her own.
But, of course, it's the right decision. Equality is something to be taken seriously.

Hey you elected them. At least they aren't calling it marriage. And be glad the liberals aren't trying to get child molestation or the age of consent lowered to 12 approved.
