Governor Christie, put rights to a vote?
New Jersey governor Christie has said that he will veto any law that allows gay marriage, and has asked the legislature to put Gay Marriage to a vote. Governor, would any state outside the northeast have okayed mixed marriage in the 60s? Of course not, but what is right for one person is right for all. That is guaranteed by our Constitution. And that is why those laws were overturned. Now remember the line, all men (we now believe that it means all persons, men and women) are created equal. If one person cannot marry and have a household because they love a person of the same sex, that person can not be equal to a heterosexual in the eyes of the laws. And this can not be allowed by our Constitution, no matter what the people may vote. The Tea Party, GOP, and religious groups have recently fought for a strict reading of the Constitution when it comes to the separation of church and state. I'm sorry Gov. Christie, as a GOP governor, you can't stand behind the Constitution when it fits you and throw it away when it doesn't.
