“Like many of you who live in New Jersey, I’ve been following the progress of the marriage-equality legislation currently being considered in Trenton. I’ve long believed in and have always spoken out for the rights of same sex couples and fully agree with Governor Corzine when he writes that, ‘The marriage-equality issue should be recognized for what it truly is – a civil rights issue that must be approved to assure that every citizen is treated equally under the law.’ I couldn’t agree more with that statement and urge those who support equal treatment for our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters to let their voices be heard now.”

“Nice. New York now joining California in banning gay marriage. New York and California: the only two states in the country whose streets have disco rollerblading lanes – not cool with gay marriage. Because New York and California aren’t as progressive as Iowa!”

“It is time to seriously consider a more civil-rights-movement approach to fighting for our rights instead of pumping money into either (political) party in some sort of masochistic dance. We must consider a concerted and well-planned campaign of non-violent civil disobedience. Business as usual can not continue in this country as long as we are separated from the rest of our neighbors, families and friends who have full equality and freedom.”
