| Jun Choi just introduced GSE chair Steven Goldstein, who takes the stage with Brian McGinnis and David Smith, also from Garden State Equality, as well as Babs Casbar. Steven Goldstein talks about their August poll, which found that New Jersey voters support marriage equality by a 50-42 margin.

Steven Goldstein talks about the poll, sprinkling in some of his trademark little humor, then passes off to Blue Jersey's Brian McGinnis.
Brian tells the legislators there's nothing to fear from sponsoring marriage equality.
David Smith thanks the sponsors of the marriage equality bill, and then asks if any other legislators in the room would like to join as cosponsor the bill. Asw. Lampitt, Asw. Pou, Asw. Evans, Asw. Quigley, Asm. Johnson and Sen. Cunningham all stand.
Babs Casbar emphasizes the need for state and federal laws protecting transgender Americans.
Now Frank Pallone is introducing the New Jersey delegation. |
