Question: Should NJ Legalize Gay Marriage?

There were a lot of weddings performed in New York on Sunday.

That was the first day that gay marriage, which was approved to be recognized in The Empire State last month, officially became legal in the sixth state in the nation. New Jersey is not one of the others.

However, that did not stop Julia Wood and Alissa Ginsberg, of Brooklyn, from coming to in Morristown on July 9 to have a religious ceremony. While St. Peter's reverend Janet Broderick, a friend of Wood's, conducted the ceremony as officiant, it technically has no legal binding or recognition as a "marriage" in The Garden State. The legally-binding version–in New York, anyway–is planned for Aug. 9. For now, gay couples wishing to legally join together in New Jersey only have what are called "civil unions," which some proponents of gay marriage have argued not only can cause the couples to face certain legal hurdles, but also represents a separate status unequal to marriage.

Which brings us to our "Question of the Day:" Should New Jersey legalize gay marriage? What does New York's legalization mean for other states, like our own? Chime in below.
