Marriage equality in New Jersey has seemed like a non-starter so long as Gov. Chris Christie remains in office, but there might be a plan brewing to try anyway.
The Auditor reports that gay rights proponents will meet this week to discuss a strategy for passing the law through the legislature and then perhaps following up with a veto override. That would require not only vast support from lawmakers, but also a nod from the governor that his veto was an individual decision.
Christie has said being gay is not a sin, that people are born homosexual, and that he supports civil unions. But he said after marriage equality passed in neighboring New York that he wouldn’t have signed the bill.
