: Wise Law BlogCommission: N.J. Civil Unions "Second Class Status" for Gay Couples
By Garry J. Wise, Wise Law Office, Toronto
From the "Government commission tells us something we already know" department...
A commission established to study same-sex civil unions in New Jersey has found in its first report that civil unions create a "second-class status" for gay couples, rather than giving them equality.
The report stops short of recommending that the state allow gay marriage. But it does find that gay couples in Massachusetts, the only state that now allows same-sex marriage, do not experience some of the legal complications that those in New Jersey do.
