since this is a visa board, what about the hundreds of bi-national couples that can not be together ro have to live out of status to stay together because federal law does not recognize smae sex marriages?

Good for New Jersey! only 48 more states to go.

And I applaud Canada for acknowledging same sex couples and allowing them to immigrate!

Bravo New Jersey! And if the end of the world means legalizing same sex unions - I say, bring it on -- maybe it will herald in a much better world than the one we're in now - one free from homophobia, hatred, bigotry and racism.

This country will soon be taken over by homosexuals and soon this will be like an animal kingdom where people act on impulses as opposed to a set of moral principles.

Good on 'em

Why? What's next land rights for gay whales...

People can do or ##### whoever they want but don't go around trying to change a system that has been upheld for 10,000 years and then forcing it down someones throat..

Actually the court left the decision up to the state legislature. They can call it marriage, or create a new "legally recognised" civil union for gay couples.

Looks like someone is doing some "fishing".

hahahaha and you wonder why you are not taken seriously

Read the ruling. All it says are same-sex couples are entitled to the same legal benefits as opposite-sex couples. It leaves to the democratic process the decision of whether the scheme under which these benefits are conferred should be called 'marriage' or something else.

In other words, it is a statement of what has been mainstream belief in this state for a long time.

Has anyone petitioned a ** marriage for a K1,K3 or any AOS? Maybe soon someone from NJ will be doing that, since it is now legal there. They are lucky because the processing will be through VSC which is faster so by the time this ruling is overturned in the supreme court, the ** applicants will have been approved.

Federal legislation already exists (signed by President Clinton) that defines marriage as between one man and one woman. A same-sex "marriage" in the state of New Jersey will not be recognized as a marriage by USCIS.
