Marriage Equality for New Jersey

“Should two adults in New Jersey, not of The Same Blood line, and of sound mind be able to enter into a Mutually Exclusive Marriage Contract; Yes or No?”

The Governor of New Jersey wants a referendum on the New Jersey ballot allowing all adult citizens, not of the same blood line, and of sound mind, to be able to enter into a mutually exclusive marriage contract as recognized by the State of New Jersey.

If the majority of all citizens in New Jersey want their marriage recognized by the state of New Jersey, they would have to vote yes. If the majority of citizens don’t care to have their marriage recognized by the state of New Jersey, and the benefits that go with a state recognized marriage, they can vote no.

Since this is a referendum to the New Jersey State Constitution, no marriage would be grandfathered, and no marriage would be exempted.

This would be a straight up or down vote by every citizen in New Jersey. If the Majority vote’s No, New Jersey would cease to recognize state issued marriage licenses, and any New Jersey Law referencing Marriage would be removed from New Jersey statutes.

Marriage, as recognized by New Jersey is a Social Contract, not a religious one. Marriages would still remain in effect among religious institutions, but there would cease to be state sponsored benefits. The question on the New Jersey ballot would be phrased as such:

““Should two adults in New Jersey, not of The Same Blood line, and of sound mind be able to enter into a Mutually Exclusive Marriage Contract; Yes or No?”
