State Commission Recommends Marriage Equality for New Jersey

The New Jersey Civil Union Commission has just issued its final report, proclaiming the civil union law a failure, citing “overwhelming evidence” that will never provide equality with the passage of time, and recommending to Governor Corzine and the legislature that they enact a marriage equality law “expeditiously because any delay in marriage equality will harm all the people of New Jersey.”
COLAGE staff member Meredith Fenton and Speak OUT member Caitlin MacIntyre were two of the individuals to provide testimony to the Commission representing the impact of marriage in/equality on youth and adults with LGBTQ parents.
