Same-sex marriages will begin within days in New Jersey after the state’s highest court ruled unanimously Friday to uphold a lower-court order that gay weddings must start Monday and to deny a delay that was sought by Gov. Chris Christie’s administration. …

A judge on the lower court had ruled last month that New Jersey must recognize same-sex marriage and set Monday as the date to allow gay weddings. Christie, a Republican who is considered a possible 2016 presidential candidate, appealed the decision and asked for the start date to be put on hold while the state appeals.

I had hoped that when other states approved homosexual marriage that they all would have moved there by now. Oh, well...

What I’ve never understood is the mannish appearance of some lesbians.

Only a few years ago, the NJ Supreme Court issued a ruling that the state must issue either "marriage" or civil-union status to homos. They required the LEGISLATURE to do this.
