A marriage equality bill will pass in the New Jersey State Senate only with bipartisan support, according to Senate President Richard Codey, who gave an interview on the subject to WNYC radio.  ”There’s not unanimous support within the Democratic caucus for it. There’s members that will not be voting for it. So clearly there would have to be some Republican votes for it to pass the Senate,” Codey said.

Governor Jon Corzine’s (pictured) loss on November 3rd means marriage equality advocates will have to get a bill passed in a lame duck session of the state legislature and to Corzine’s desk before he leaves office.  The governor-elect, Republican Chris Christie, has vowed to veto a marriage equality bill.
