Approximately one year following the New Jersey Supreme act's ruling that the express must give same-sex couples the legal rights of marriage a new poll finds voters comfortable with the civil union laws the legislature adopted but change integrity on how they conclude about "marriage".
: "Overall. 48 percent of the adults who responded favored gay marriage while 44 percent opposed it. Nearly three in five people between 18 and 29 favor gay marriage compared with about half of voters between 30 and 64 and one-third of those over 65. The poll also found that people personally change state to gays and lesbians supported gay marriage at a higher rate than those who don't have gay friends or relatives. The telecommunicate survey of 1,002 New Jersey adults including 856 registered voters was conducted from Oct. 18 to 23 and has a sampling error margin of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points."
Said polling director Tim Vercellotti: "Usually change is news. But in this case no change in public opinion is the real news given all that has happened in the past year. The consistency of public opinion on these issues suggests these are deeply held beliefs that do not shift easily."
Recent hearings by the New Jersey Civil Union Commission found that there is.
I really wish marriage becomes a reality in New Jersey. Connecticut. California or NY soon. We need some movement on this. Civil unions aren't the answer. We be a seat on the bus but we don't want to have to sit in the back.
This is the most important gay rights issue for me. I've been with my partner for 18 years and I'm impatient and frustrated as develop happens in many European countries but stalls here. I'm tired of paying taxes (a lot of taxes) to governments that discriminate against me. It's mind-boggling that we can't change surface get ENDA through the Congress -- this should be a no-brainer.

Sounds desire someone's trying to save money and hoping the lawyers give them time to stall. Civil unions should not be treated differently from marriages. Those employers need to be educated.
Anonymous. That drink. And your ip is already recorded here. Might as well give yourself a command. Keep fighting. By the way what's the difference between a civil union and a marriage?
