Facing defeat, New Jersey gay ‘marriage’ vote canceled

TRENTON, N.J. — Supporters of gay “marriage” suffered another setback in the Northeast when a much-anticipated vote on the issue in the New Jersey Senate was canceled, apparently because of a lack of support.

The New Jersey bill sponsored by Democratic state Sens. Loretta Weinberg and Raymond Lesniak now advances to the six-member Assembly Judiciary Committee but has not been scheduled for a vote and may not be considered until early January — if at all — when committees are next scheduled to meet. Democrats hold a 4–2 edge on the panel.

Supporters are hurrying to get the bill to the desk of Democratic Gov. Jon Corzine before he leaves office Jan. 19.

He supports the bill but his successor, Republican Chris Christie, opposes it. (TAB)
