Lambda Legal sues New Jersey for marriage equality

Lamda Legal has sued New Jersey on behalf of seven same-sex couples and their children harmed from the unequal civil union system. From the press release:

"By now, everybody in New Jersey knows that civil unions don't work," said Steven Goldstein, Chair and CEO of Garden State Equality. "Since civil unions became law in New Jersey, Garden State Equality has received reports from a multitude of civil union couples who have told us their employers refuse to provide the equal rights and benefits the civil union law mandates. It's time for the courts to fix this mess and give full marriage equality to New Jersey's same-sex couples and their children."
