Now, listen to Part One of the interview.
Ml: Same-sex couples married by Newark Mayor and senator-elect Cory Booker in the Garden State were met with some welcome news as they exchanged nuptials. Gov. Chris Christie’s move, dropping the appeal, makes New Jersey the 14th state to allow gay marriage, along with the District of Columbia: 35 states have laws or constitutional amendments in place to restrict same-sex marriage. Joining me now to outline what’s happening is David Crary.(1)He reports on social issues and policies as a national writer at the Associated Press. And, David, all along, Chris Christie said he was going to pursue this appeal. He said he preferred that either the legislature or the voters of New Jersey change the law. Did it surprise people that he dropped his opposition?
M2:(2)I think it was only surprising, Ray, the speed with which he did it. It was clear that he decided this was going to be a losing effort on his part. The Supreme Court of New Jersey was pretty clear how it would have ruled eventually. So, very quickly, he said: I’m going to drop the fight. We will have same-sex marriage here in New Jersey.
Ml: The attention was on New Jersey today, but is this really a struggle that’s now in multiple venues on multiple fronts? Where is the action?
M2: It’s all over the place, Ray. I think there are at least 13 other states that have active pending lawsuits over same-sex marriage now.(3)Some could be resolved fairly quickly. Some are likely to drag on into next year. There’s also action in some state legislatures, Illinois in particular.(4)There’s also efforts to get this issue onto the ballot in 2014 in states like Oregon. So it’s a multifaceted, multistate thing that could play out very quickly within a year or two.
Ml: But, looking at the calendar, who are the—who are the next batters up? Where is action really very close to having to be taken?
M2: New Mexico, Ray. There’s going to be a hearing in the state Supreme Court this week, unless they change their plans.(5)And New Mexico’s a fascinating state because it’s the only state with no law specifically legalizing same-sex marriage or outlawing it. It’s kind of a gray area. Eight of the 33 counties have started issuing same-sex marriage licenses. The others have not. The state Supreme Court is being asked to try to sort out that very fascinating situation. And that could start this week.
This is the end of Part One of the interview.
