New Jersey Wants Gay Civil Unions
Half of New Jersey registered voters agree
that gay couples should receive the same rights as heterosexuals, but
only one in four think those rights should be called marriage, according
to a new poll.
"People in New Jersey are very supportive of equal rights, but the
concept of marriage is more complicated," said Mickey Blum, whose firm,
Blum & Weprin Associates, performed the telephone survey of 777 people
for The Star-Ledger of Newark, which published the results on Monday.
 The
poll found 17 percent are undecided about the recent Supreme Court
ruling that granted gay couples equal rights, but gave the Legislature
180 days to define them.
"This is an issue people are struggling with," Blum said. "They seem to
be trying to decide what is reasonable or fair."
