Reason to act on marriage equality

by: Hopeful

Wed May 28, 2008 at 09:42:01 PM EDT



Juan suggested last week that marriage equality could be a tourist boon for Atlantic City.  The window of opportunity is now wide open, because next door in New York:

Gov. David A. Paterson has directed all state agencies to begin to revise their policies and regulations to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions, like Massachusetts, California and Canada.

So, gay couples won't be able to get married in New York until their legislature acts, but can get married elsewhere.  Seems like Atlantic City would be a natural...

Update (Juan): also, Governor Corzine and Attorney General Milgram could do the same thing in New Jersey right now.

AC? (4.00 / 1)
Asbury Park would be the place to capitalize on this.  It did last time, when we had gay marriage for a day or two, didn't it?

And Asbury Park really needs the diversified economy.  Even if this latest redevelopment takes hold, it's all the eggs in one rich partnership's basket.  Spread the wealth around.

Seriously, travel around AP, Neptune, Ocean Grove -- just a couple square miles -- and spy all the rainbow flags.  It's a friendly place for a new wedding chapel.
