Monday, February 13th, 2012 – The New Jersey state Senate approved the marriage equality bill, 24-16. The bill is expected to pass in the Assembly on Thursday, too. Governor Chris Christie said, he will veto it.
Garden State Equality answers the question of why the vote is important, even if there is a veto.
”THE QUESTION WE KEEP GETTING ASKED no matter how many times we post on it. What happens after Governor Christie vetoes the marriage equality bill? First, let’s pass the bill – do not take that for granted! We have got to keep our eyes on the ball. If the bill passes both houses this week, we will have until the end of the legislative session, January 2014, to override. This week, it’s about 21 votes in the Senate and 41 votes in the Assembly. Let’s take one step at a time, methodically and strategically, and we will win equality.”
