Marriage Equality Coming to New Jersey!

Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson has ruled today in Garden State Equality v. Dow that same sex couples must be allowed to marry in NJ!  Marriage equality currently set to start on October 21st.  

In arguments before Jacobson in August, Lambda Legal’s lawyer, Lawrence Lustberg, said that not allowing same-sex couples to marry will have “devastating” consequences because the federal government denies a wide array of benefits to couples who are not married. He said the question is a matter of equal protection under the law and has moral overtones.

Jacobson agreed, ruling that the ineligibility of same-sex couples for federal benefits hurts them in “a wide range of contexts,” such as pension benefits, family leave protections and tax benefits.

“If the trend of federal agencies deeming civil union partners ineligible for benefits continues, plaintiffs will suffer even more, while their opposite-sex New Jersey counterparts continue to receive federal marital benefits for no reason other than the label placed upon their relationship by the state,” the judge wrote. Such unequal treatment “requires that New Jersey extend civil marriage to same-sex couples to satisfy the equal protection guarantees of the New Jersey Constitution.”

Let us win in 2014 indeed. But don’t stop there.

Let us see you to win in 2014. Stop looking over your shoulder. I mean you.

I trust most you you reading this remember Wisconsin’s Sen Bob Wirch. He was one of the “Fab 14” who relocated to IL as a de facto filibuster against the WI GOP’s efforts to blitz through their union-busting law. One night a couple weeks ago this same man stood up at our county-level Democratic Party meeting and urged the members there to run for office and/or to recruit people to run.

I am here to do the same thing. It is time to strip off the keyboard commando camouflage and to don the business attire. Run for office. City council, county board, school board, township supervisor, sanitary district commissioner, what have you.
