Gay marriage supporters will announce a lawsuit seeking to legalize it in New Jersey on Wednesday, just days after New York signed gay marriage into law.

The case for gay marriage in New Jersey was dealt two setbacks last year. In January, 2010, the Democrat-controlled state Senate rejected a bill that would have given same-sex couples the right to marry. Six months later, the state Supreme Court declined to hear a case for gay marriage, saying it needs to wind its way through the lower courts first.

Supporters of gay marriage say they now have the votes to pass it in the Legislature, but not enough to override a veto by Gov. Chris Christie, who has said he will not sign it.

New Jersey has a civil union law designed to provide same-sex couples with the same rights as heterosexual married couples, but supporters of gay marriage say it has failed to achieve that.

They've failed to gain the ability to rub it in our faces, that's how. That's always what it's been about.

yes, that’s all it is — who was quoting a survey done of these “marriages” and found that after 5 years the level of infidelity is 97%+?
