We celebrate the achievement of the right to marry the person of one’s choosing regardless of gender that is now embedded in New Jersey law, and increasingly in that of the nation. We have long been supporters of this movement. We especially appreciate the efforts of the lawyers and litigants who brought about this advance in our understanding of the meaning of equality.
We applaud Judge Mary Jacobson for her comprehensive analysis of the impact of U.S. v. Windsor. That U.S. Supreme Court decision demonstrated the impossibility of the compromise proposed by the New Jersey Supreme Court’s majority in Lewis v. Harris: that civil union could survive if it proved the equal of marriage.
