NJ Supreme Court Rejects Demand to Redefine Marriage…for Now

The New Jersey Supreme Court issued an order Monday rejecting a recently filed motion in a long-ago-resolved lawsuit that attempted to force New Jersey legislature to redefine marriage.   Lambda Legal attorneys represented a small group of activists who were dissatisfied with civil unions implemented by the Legislature in 2007, and recently argued that they were not content with anything short of forcing a redefinition of marriage on all New Jersey residents. However, this latest order won't likely be the end of this legal attack on marriage in the Garden State.

"There's more to marriage than just any two people in a relationship," said ADF Senior Legal Counsel Austin R. Nimocks. "We should be strengthening marriage, not tearing it down, and the Supreme Court of New Jersey did the responsible thing by denying activists' attempt to make marriage something other than one man and one woman. This already-resolved, three-year-old lawsuit was resurrected with the goal of forcing legislators to redefine marriage against their will. Such attacks utterly dispel the myth that civil unions will appease same-sex "marriage" activists, who seek to use them as a legal springboard to redefine marriage."
