Go, Garden State!
Speaking of big issues, lookit New Jersey, wow. I hope these people that care about each other as much as their straight counterparts get to legally commit themselves to each other. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Peter: Let me ask you something. When you come in on Monday and you're not feelin' real well, does anyone ever say to you, 'Sounds like someone has a case of the Mondays'?
Lawrence: No. No, man. Shit, no, man. I believe you'd get your ass kicked sayin' something like that, man.

Well, here's the decision. Basically, the NJ supreme court thinks that gay people who commit to each other should have all the same rights/obligations as straight people do, but they want to leave it up to the legislature to decide how that's going to be done: either by changing the definition of marriage, or by enacting something parallel like civil unions.
So far, it seems that this is considered to be neither a victory nor a defeat for gay marriage. However, it is good to know that the highest court in one more state among 50 thinks that gay people should have the same rights as straight people.
I'm impressed that the court is so politically savvy. They ruled in such a way that forces the legislatures hand, but does not re-interpret any law and thus can not be labeled as "activist."
