"High-Court Ruling Mandates Legal Change to Ensure Equality for Same-Sex Partners

ImageThe New Jersey Supreme Court's ruling today that the state must extend the full rights of marriage to same-sex couples is a victory for human rights and equality, Human Rights Watch said.

Human Rights Watch called on New Jersey lawmakers to give the full status of marriage to those couples, rather than devise a separate-but-unequal solution of "civil unions." "

Yes!! Good for the Supremes!! Some of my friends have been less than happy with being 'civilized' and 'unionized' by their state.

And there are a number of lawsuits filed against employers who have refused to grant 'partner' privileges to spouses to date.
