New Gay Rights Bill Failed

New Jersey's state Senate recently defeated a bill that proposed the legalization of gay marriage. Only 14 out of the required 21 required senate votes were for the bill. Gay rights activists had worked hard to get the bill passed before January 19th, when Republican Chris Christie will become the new governor of New Jersey, as Christie stated that he would veto the bill. Currently there are five states that allow gay marriage-Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Vermont.
