Progressives Americans Should Celebrate NJ Court Decision
Edited on Thu Oct-26-06 07:26 AM by lionesspriyanka
Its a human rights victory

A victory over bigotry.

It's one more step in a progressive direction for this country.

Its another break away from the hatred perpetuated by this government for the last 6 years.

Isn't this what we stand for as a party and as an ideology?

8. We can only hope.
On its face, it looks like the Mass decision, where the legislature has to come up with some equality in its rules.

I'd call it a stay of execution for now. Let's see what they come up with.

At least it is a step in the right direction. I don't think of this as an "ideological" issue. I like to think of it as a "rational" way to foster equality. Ideology is for the fundies.

I've already posted that I wish the decision was a bit more firm, but the effect will be the same. :party:

17. I Was Proud As Well When I Read The Decision Yesterday.
It would've really bothered me if NJ had become like some gay-hating state. I was very pleased to see the outcome.
