New Jersey Gay Couples Anxious To Wed
http://www.365gay.com/newscon04/12/122104njPartner.htm

In the five months since New Jersey's domestic partner law went into effect nearly 2,700 couples have registered. But, many others are waiting to see how a suit to gain full marriage rights plays out in the courts.

So far, 2,640 gay couples have signed up under New Jersey's Domestic Partnership Act according to the state Health Department which administers the law. Another 42 unmarried heterosexual senior citizen couples also registered.

The domestic partnership law, passed in January, grants some legal rights to registered couples, including the ability to make medical decisions for each other. It went into effect July 10. (story)
