Just because some think the time still isn't right for NJ to take the next step, doesn't mean the NJ Civil Union Commission report isn't being cited as justification for same sex marriage in Vermont:Supporters of legislation in Vermont to allow same-sex marriage are praising the findings of a New Jersey commission that studied the issue.
The New Jersey Civil Union Review Commission looked at that state's civil union law - which is very similar to Vermont's - and found it comes up short of offering equality to same-sex couples. The panel recommended that the state pass a law allowing same-sex marriage.
Beth Robinson of the Vermont Freedom to Marry Task Force says the problems the New Jersey panel found with that state's civil union law mirror her group's concerns about Vermont's law.
Vermont will have legislation introduced in their upcoming session, but their Governor opposes the bill. Our Governor supports the measure, we just can't give him the chance to sign it. |
