Openly gay New Jersey Assemblyman Reed Gusciora met with Gov. Chris Christie this week, and afterward said that, even though they don't see eye to eye on a pending marriage equality bill, they agreed to respect each other's views. Christie wants a statewide vote on whether same-sex couples should be able to marry, but Gusciora said it wouldn't be proper to decide one group's civil rights through a popular vote. "It goes along with the reasoning of the [California] court of appeals that you pit one group of people against another, that you put people like myself up on the ballot for scrutiny, and I don't think that is right," Gusciora said.Philly.com (Philadelphia)/The Associated Press (2/10)
