Homosexual groups suffered their third straight major setback in the Northeast
Thursday when the New Jersey Senate easily defeated a bill that would have
legalized "gay marriage," 20-14.
The loss was expected but nevertheless is significant because it comes in a
region of the country known for its social liberalism and in an area that "gay
marriage" activists view as their stronghold. Of the five states that have
redefined marriage, four are in the Northeast.
Just two and a half months ago the bill seemed as if it might be headed for
passage but homosexual groups suffered a string of losses on Election Day, the
most significant one for the bill being the defeat of Democratic Gov. Jon
Corzine, a "gay marriage" supporter. Republican Gov.-elect Chris Christie, who
takes office Jan. 19, had pledged to veto it.
Also on Election Day Maine voters reversed a law that had legalized "gay
marriage." One month later, New York's Senate stunned observers by easily
defeating a "gay marriage" bill, 38-24.
(This is good news and it should show all of us how important elections and voting is even when us who care about family values don't have a friend in the White House. However we must not forget America needs a true change that can only come through God. We must pray for a true spiritual change to come that is not started by any political party or can be stopped by one. Read more on this issue New
