NJ: Students and Activists Rally for Gay Marriage

Despite the cold and rain, student activists and advocates for marriage equality gathered on the steps of the New Jersey Statehouse yesterday morning to voice their support for New Jersey's gay marriage proposal. "Marriage equality is not just about marriage, it's about civic equality," said Mike Tracey, a student from The College of New Jersey in Ewing. "It's about love. Let's hear it for love." The crowd of more than 100 people cheered back eagerly, some waving signs that read, "Separate But Equal is NOT EQUAL." The rally was put together by TCNJ's Students For Equality group. The New Jersey legislature is expected to take up marriage equality legislation this week, Sen. Ray Lesniak, D-Union, told a crowd of supporters outside the statehouse Thursday afternoon.
