The New Jersey "Freedom to Marry" bill has been placed on a high priority fast track, a group of lawmakers said today, introducing the bill in Trenton.
Senator Steve Sweeney, who introduced the bill for a Senate, voted against the marriage equality bill when it was up for a vote last year and called it the biggest mistake of his career, reiterating remarks he made earlier this year.
Assemblywoman Sheila Oliver, who introduced the bill to the Assembly, spoke about Loving v. Virginia and interracial marriage, emphasizing that marriage equality is a matter of civil rights.
