Another day, another failed gay marriage bid... Another upset occurred Thursday afternoon when the New Jersey --yes the state that gave us that pillar of decency, Jersey Shore -- senate failed to land enough votes to advance a same-sex marriage bill, effectively killing chances for gay marriage in the state for the next several years. The measure failed 20 to 14.
Since Governor-elect Chris Christie, who has vowed to veto any gay marriage legislation, takes office on January 19, the state's legislature was under the gun to hold a vote on the matter. The state's sitting Governor John Corzine had promised to support a gay marriage measure.
Now, for another marriage equality bill to advance legislatively, New Jersey's senate and assembly need enough votes to override Christie's veto, which seems highly unlikely.
