Civil Unions start in NJ

We can't let today pass without noting that it's the first day same-sex couples could sign up for civil unions in New Jersey. Lots of coverage in the traditional media. Here's the NY Times article. But, the best coverage I've seen has been over at Blue Jersey including video of the first civil union in the state.

Also, check out Blue Jersey's Think Equal campaign. They've got some of the best -- and only -- ads on the issue of gay marriage. Says a lot that a couple of young straight guys, Juan Melli and Jack Bohrer, have come up with some of the most compelling arguments for same sex marriage equality.
