Article PhotoWASHINGTON — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has signed legislation banning efforts to change people’s sexual orientation Monday, leading LGBT advocates to push the governor to go even further and support marriage equality.
“In a signing note accompanying the bill obtained by The Associated Press that will be made public Monday, Christie says he believes people are born gay and homosexuality is not a sin,” the Associated Press reported Monday morning. The Record’s Melissa Hayes later confirmed from the governor that he had signed the bill.
“We hope that his realization, that there is nothing wrong with our LGBT youth — and that there is nothing about them that needs to be fixed — will lead to a further evolution,” Garden State Equality executive director Troy Stevenson said in a statement.
The bill is the second of its type in the nation. The first, passed in California, is currently facing a court challenge. Advocates from Garden State Equality, New Jersey’s LGBT group, say the New Jersey legislation was crafted to avoid the questions underlying that litigation.
this is an abomination perpetrated on those persecuted by the public and exploited by those who prey on the desperate, despicable them.
Marcus Bachmann and his deception promoted by his wife Michelle and accepted and pursued gov't money for their fraud against Gays.  you would think given his effeminate demeanor they would have seen it didn't work
The high-profile governor, whose 2016 presidential plans are a topic of regular speculation, is in the midst of a re-election campaign in which a veto would have been used by his Democrat opponent, state Sen. Barbara Buono.
Before his signing note itself was even made public, however, the state’s LGBT advocacy group, Garden State Equality, made clear that it hoped the news would be a first step toward Christie reversing his position on marriage equality. In 2012, he vetoed marriage equality legislation passed by the legislature.
he is increasingly acting as though he no onger believes in the right wing rhetoric of hate and selfishness electing to do his job serve the people, he is the most popular republican in the country, you would think they would get behind him but they are not and not because he hugged the Pres. for doing his job but because he no longer appears to support if ever "THEIR VALUES" of hate and selfishness.
