During a campaign visit to a diner in Edison, NJ, Christie got into a surprisingly (for him) civil discussion with a voter who pressed him on his opposition to same-sex marriage. What was meant to be a routine event turned out to be a window into Christie’s ongoing waffling on gay issues.
It all began when Bert Bueno, a straight woman, asked Christie to explain his opposition to marriage equality. “Lots of different people have different views on this,” Christie said. “I think marriage should be between a man and a woman.” Christie also reiterated his stand that the issue be put to the voters and not “decided by politicians in Trenton.”
ueno wasn’t buying ”How could you as the leader of the state speak and have such a point of view that really is in opposition to many, many people?” Bueno asked.
“Whenever you have an opinion that’s in opposition to many, many people … ” Christie started to reply.
“But this is different than gun control or taxes,” Bueno interjected.
“No, I don’t think it is different,” the governor said.
“It’s a human rights issue,” Bueno insisted.
“Says you,” Christie responded.
