Gay Marriage Legalized: Do You Support NJ Court's Ruling?

As a New Jersey resident, do you agree with the Superior Court's decision to legalize gay marriage?

What do you think of a Superior Court judge's ruling that same-sex marriage in New Jersey will be legal starting Oct. 21?  

Mercer County Superior Court Judge Mary C. Jacobson ruled on Friday afternoon that any official empowered to perform marriages within the state must do so for any same-sex couples beginning Oct. 21, according to court documents.

Do you support the decision? 

Did the Superior Court judge do the right thing? Should same-sex marriage be legal in New Jersey? Should it be left to the government to make such a decision? 

Gov. Christie has already vowed to appeal the decision.
