Speaking at the signing of the civil unions act in Trenton this morning, Senator Loretta Weinberg told the audience she looks forward to revisiting this issue. Weinberg also said she believes the state will achieve marriage equality by the end of her next term (January 2012).

Steven Goldstein of Garden State Equality had this to say:

Today we celebrate not a destination, but a journey.

Social conservative groups and some lawmakers opposed the measure, saying it brings gay relationships too close to marriage, but it easily passed the Legislature.

"It's same-sex marriage without the title," said John Tomicki, president of the New Jersey Coalition to Preserve and Protect Marriage. "It uproots the cardinal values of our culture."

He said opponents would push for a constitutional amendment that would ban same-sex unions in New Jersey, no matter what they're called.

"Let the voters decide that marriage is defined as a union of one man and one woman," Tomicki said.

Democrats who control the Legislature have said they have no plans to consider such a proposal.
