Newly-elected to the U.S. Senate, Cory Booker is using his last days as Newark mayor as a chance to curry favor with the Democratic base by officiating weddings for same-sex couples. Shortly after a state Supreme Court ruling Friday paved the way for such unions, Booker’s office said he would begin marrying same-sex couples at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, the first moment they are allowed.
Quote:
For more than seven years, Mayor Booker has refused all requests to officiate New Jersey marriages because gay couples have been denied that equal right,” spokesman James Allen said. “After today’s wonderful news, Mayor Booker is excited to marry both straight and gay couples in City Hall on Monday morning beginning at 12:01 a.m.
what do i care? the reality is that it is being done at the STATE level where it belongs, and not at the federal level. the feds should have NOTHING to do with gay marriage.

You cared enough to comment. We as a country need to continue to move forward and it will be a great day when every state recognizes gay marriage so that gays can live freely in any state and not have to worry if their marriage is valid in that state.

You are very correct.
States can marry whomever they like.
This is New Jersey's problem.
FTR, homosexuals are not prohibited from marrying anywhere in the United States.
Most states prohibit marriage between members of the same sex, but the law applies equally to heterosexuals and homosexuals.

Ah yes, the tired old argument that gays can marry any opposite person they want. Yet you guys get shot down when you look at the history of marriage, this is no different than the time when people like you would claim that people can marry whoever they want as long as they are of the same race and opposite sex. That was wrong then, and you are still wrong today.

A man and woman of different races have complimentary sex organs and can produce offspring making the sex that takes place between a man and a woman of different races within nature's plan.
In decades past, some people were of the opinion that sexual unions between men and women of different races was not in keeping with nature's design.
That healthy and happy children are produced by interracial unions proves that the opinion expressed by those who believed interracial unions were outside of nature's design was in error.
Perhaps some day two men or two women will produce a child together and I'll be proven wrong.
Until then, homosexuality is an unnatural and unproductive behavior that fails to balance the risk of sexually transmitted disease with the advancement of the species.
Playing house with real kids doesn't change the unnatural nature of homosexuality.
