Why can't the lesbians conduct their civil union somewhere else? We're supposed to approve of gays, but they don't need to respect the religious beliefs of others.

Oh, great, the Democrats have another Harriet and Luisa to beat us over the head with!

It’s homosexuals like these that cause the backlash against the rest.

They don’t have a right to marry wherever they want, the only have a right to enter into a civil union. Nowhere does it say those civil unions must be able to be performed anyplace the entrants wish.

In short, the only thing that stands between homosexuals and self-acceptance
is the Holy Bible, new and old hence the bitter hatred of so called “gays” of the faithful who believe the Bible to be the incorruptible word of God. Gays don’t want equality, they seek authority over detractors and due to the average schlub succumbing to decades of pro-gay propaganda, they are in dangerously close range of achieving their evil goal. The more “special protections” the homosexual politicos gain the more power they have to destroy the church. As we speak there are pastors of conscience in Canada and Europe who are in prison for speaking biblical truth in their sermons. Some people are clearly more equal than others. People of faith are rapidly becoming second class citizens in their own country. The gays are winning. In the US, the right to wed is the right to get married in church. Ultimately the goal of the homo-fascists is to use discrimination laws to cost churches their tax free status if they fail to marry gays in the identical way they do heterosexuals. Don’t believe me? They succeeded in doing exactly that to the Boy Scouts of America. Evil is triumphing. Who’s fault is it? Not the evil radical gays, but the fearful majority who sits silently and does nothing. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men (Freepers) do nothing.”

Then in 1979 the New Jersey Supreme Court stripped Ocean Grove and the CMA of their judicial and police powers

While I'm totally against gay "marriage", it doesn't sound like it's against the law to perform any sort of marriage there. Besides, didn't God create the entire Earth making it all sacred?

This is a situation that we all need to follow closely. The law says they can have a civil union, but it gives them no rights as to where the ceremony can take place. If the government decides that they can have the ceremony on the boardwalk its a short leap to the actual church. God help us all

Ocean Grove has remained a religious retreat for its entire existence.

I live near Ocean Grove & know it well. The Gays have been buying the beautiful old houses there for many years now. Same as Asbury Park. Its been a long time since the ban on alcohol in the Grove. Or the ban of cars on the weekends. There is still a religious retreat but the Gays are taking the town over IMO.

The Gays don't need to be doing this. They could easily get married in Asbury Park or somewhere else. Its all about them as usual.

The funny thing about all this is that homosexual ‘relationships’ don’t even last that long. In Massachusetts their ‘marriages’ are already falling apart at an astounding rate. In other areas of the country, homosexual civil unions are terminated as fast as they swap partners. It’s going to be harder and harder for homosexual activists to perpetuate the lie that they’re healthy when these negative statistics keep piling up.

On the Boardwalk (Must civil unions be performed on religious property?)

Where's the ACLU and their 'separation of church and state" argument?
