New Jersey’s Democratic-led Legislature passed a bill legalizing gay marriage and sent it to Governor Chris Christie, who has promised to veto the measure.
The Assembly’s approval, 42-33, was one vote more than needed to enact the legislation. The Senate adopted it on Feb. 13 by 24-16. Sponsors said they will work to gather the two-thirds majority in each chamber to override a veto. Seven states now allow same-sex couples to wed.
