The bill to authorize civil unions refers to couples not as "spouses" but as "parties," language the head of the state's main gay rights group considers "putrid."

The legislation filed late Monday and made available to the public Tuesday is the response of key Democratic lawmakers to the state Supreme Court's ruling in October that New Jersey must extend all privileges of marriage to gay couples within 180 days.
