New Jersey 14th State to Legalize Same-sex Marriage

Yesterday, the legalization of same-sex marriage in the state of New Jersey has become reality! 

The Governor of New Jersey Chris Christie fought vehemently to delay the process from moving forward, but the highest court in the state had the last say and recognized same-sex marriage as constitutional under the law. This makes New Jersey the 14th state to legalize same-sex marriage.

A spokesman for Christie said that he will comply with the ruling, though he doesn't like it. 

In the end this was indeed the most lawful thing to do. Mayor of Newark, New Jersey, Cory Booker who's headed to the U.S. Senate after winning a special election to fill the seat of the late Frank. R. Lautenberg, is only the 4th African American to EVER be elected to the U.S. Senate and will marry his first same-sex couple on Monday at 12:01am.

With liberty and justice for all. #JerseyPride
