Does Chris Christie oppose civil unions too?

by: Jason Springer

Wed Oct 21, 2009 at 01:30:00 PM EDT



From Pam's House Blend
Apparently Chris Christie, who's running for governor, doesn't even support CUs, and if elected, would push for a marriage amendment. Check out his "Shared Values" page:
I also believe marriage should be exclusively between one man and one woman. While, I have no issue with same sex couples sharing contractual rights, I believe that marriage should remain the exclusive domain of one man and one woman. If a bill legalizing same sex marriage came to my desk as Governor, I would veto it. If the law were changed by judicial fiat, I would be in favor of a constitutional amendment on the ballot so that voters, not judges, would decide this important social question.
So ya'll civil unioned peeps in NJ -- this clown wants you to carry a stack of legal contracts in your car, demoted beyond what your relationship already is under separate and unequal status.
They point out that Christie has told the AP that he supports civil unions, in the context of voicing his opposition to Marriage Equality. So does he believe what his website says he does? We know they've deleted the word mandate free from their website, maybe they got rid of civil unions while they were at it.

When you're pandering to the right wing (4.00 / 1)
it's sometimes confusing to remember how far you're supposed to take it.

I have to agree, that I think marriage equality/civil unions should be up to the people not the State.

You shouldn't need permission from the State to enter a marriage/civil union.

Is there a link to the marriage equality bill Corzine supports?  I can't seem to find it.

Thanks.

More of an Old School Lefty if anything......
