The move toward homosexual "marriage" in New Jersey continues.
The state of New Jersey already allows homosexual civil unions, but a commission now concludes that the legislature ought to legalize homosexual marriage. Len Deo of the New Jersey Family Policy Council notes that the commission was stacked with people who support the marriage law. He calls some of the conclusions ridiculous, including the idea that legalizing same-sex would generate $250 million in revenue for homosexual weddings. "In New Jersey, about 2.8 percent of the population is considered to be homosexual or lesbian," he points out. "What that shows is, of that 245,000 people, only 3,353 couples have taken advantage of the civil unions law." That number translated to marriage ceremonies, according to Deo, would generate little revenue. He then mentions the secular media's coverage of the prospect of homosexual marriage. "The mainstream media is falling all over them like it's the release of another Harry Potter book," he adds. "It's just unbelievable that a report of this nature would receive such widespread acclaim in the mainstream media." The Council will be working with members of the legislature who favor taking the issue to the people to decide, which Deo sarcastically calls a "unique idea."
