"Deo's group had been particularly worried by one line in the October New Jersey Supreme Court ruling that prompted the civil-union bill signed into law last month by Gov. Corzine. The court ruling, which required that the state Legislature grant committed gay couples the same legal rights as their married counterparts, stated that those couples would "be free... to sanctify their relationships in religious ceremonies in houses of worship."

Lee Moore, a spokesman for the Attorney General's Office, maintained that Rabner's ruling did not conflict with that language. Same-sex couples, he said, will be free to have their unions solemnized in religious ceremonies - if the religious leader agrees to it."

That isn't how I read it. The bill states homosexuals are free to sanctify their relationships, not, the clergy can refuse.

There's a lot of ambiguity in this bill that just needs a hard shove from the hard left.
