New Poll Favors Equality in NJ by 6 Points

LIke I said folks, marriage equality will become the law of the land in NJ sooner than it's opponents would imagine.

Majority of N.J. voters support gay marriage, poll shows
by The Associated Press
Thursday April 23, 2009, 5:39 AM

A poll found New Jersey voters support allowing gay couples to marry.

The Quinnipiac University Poll results are similar to a Monmouth University poll in February.

This poll found 49 percent supporting gay marriage, while 43 percent are opposed. Women and whites tend to favor a gay marriage law, while blacks, men and those who attend religious services weekly are more likely to oppose it.

Obviously, there will be a struggle to pass this.   But clearly it's a matter of demographic inevitability.  With each passing year more people become educated/informed and enlightened as to the truth/facts of this issue....and more older folks with irrevocably fixed ideas die off and are replaced by younger more tolerant less bigoted individuals.

It's not a matter of if there will be ME; but of when.

Support For Equal Marriage Would Increase Even More ... (0.00 / 0)
... if more people knew that the bills pending in the NJ Legislature (A2978 and S1967) specifically state that "No member of the clergy of any religion authorized to solemnize marriage and no religious society, institution or organization in this State shall be required to solemnize any marriage in violation of the free exercise of religion guaranteed by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution or by Article I, paragraph 4 of the New Jersey Constitution."

I really believe that's key to getting equal civil marriage on the books.
