NEW JERSEY VOTERS OPPOSES ’GAY MARRIAGE’ — Homosexual activists apparently have work to do if they want to convince New Jersey voters "gay marriage" should be legalized.
According to a Quinnipiac University poll released Nov. 8, 50 percent of New Jersey voters would oppose allowing homosexual couples to "marry," while 41 percent would support it. In addition, a Rutgers-Eagleton poll released Nov. 2 showed that 54 percent of New Jersey adults favor amending the state constitution to define marriage as between one man and one woman. Thirty-eight percent oppose it.
The polls come days after the New Jersey Supreme Court issued a decision Oct. 25 ordering the state legislature either to legalize "gay marriage" or Vermont-style civil unions. It gave legislators 180 days to act.
In the Quinnipiac poll, voters favored civil unions over "gay marriage" by a margin of 51-28 percent. The Rutgers-Eagleton poll had adults supporting civil unions by a margin of 40-29 percent, with another 16 percent voluntarily saying the legislature should just ignore the court’s order.
"The voters of New Jersey are sending a clear message to the legislature -- ’no’ to gay marriage," Clay F. Richards, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, said in a news release.
The New Jersey ruling likely assisted in helping conservatives pass constitutional marriage amendments in seven states on Election Day.
The Quinnipiac poll of 1,181 New Jersey voters was conducted Oct. 30-Nov. 5; the Rutgers-Eagleton poll of 695 adults took place Oct. 29-31.
If you want a leader to lead following a moral code of ethics, that leader must have a sound foundation upon which he bases his personal morality. If they do not have a moral foundation, such as the bible, we should not be surprised at ANY immoral or unethical action they make. It is OUR responsibility to make sure our leaders, those who represent us, have a sound moral foundation. - Alain
I would rather live my life as if there is a God,
and die to find out there isn't,
than live my life as if there isn't,
and die to find out there is.
