Be There Thursday at 9 am

by: JRB

Wed Dec 06, 2006 at 03:16:54 PM EST



Tomorrow morning, the Assembly Judiciary Committee will begin hearings on a mistake-riddled civil unions bill. The usual civil union is  inferior to a marriage, but this bill goes even farther to insult same-sex couples.
But wait!  It gets way worse from there:  When the bill doesn't refer to "civil union partner," it uses the hyper-romantic term "a party to a civil union."

Who in the real world is going to understand and respect, "Hello, I'd like you to meet my party to a civil union?  We've been partying together 10 years."

They could bypass the creation of a separate institution by simply letting all couples marry.

At 9 am tomorrow, we will meet in front of Garden State Equality's Trenton headquarters at 110 W State Street to show our legislators we want equality. We will show those who stand up for what is right that we have their backs. And we will show others -- others who we've worked hard to support -- that their political posturing while families are jeopardized makes us question supporting them in the future.

I'm in. (Also, continental breakfast? Coffee? I'm definitely in) Let us know in the comments if you can or can't make it.
