Boooo!
On a 20-14 vote, the New Jersey Senate rejected a same-sex marriage bill on Thursday. The announcement was made after hours of emotional public debate and protest rallies.
Residents of the state are divided over the issue as many feel that because they legalized civil unions in 2006, same-sex marriage is not necessary. Although civil partners are consistently denied pension benefits and hospitals continued to deny visits to partners.
Equal rights for all!!!
