TRENTON, N.J. — Same-sex “marriage” became legal Oct. 21 in New Jersey without further argument when Gov. Chris Christie dropped his appeal of a judicial ruling in support of such unions.
The state Supreme Court had signaled the governor’s appeal had little chance of success when it refused Oct. 18 his request to block a lower court’s order for New Jersey to begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples Oct. 21. The justices unanimously denied Christie’s request for a stay of the order and said his appeal had no “reasonable probability of success.”
