Just minutes after New Jersey's civil union law went into effect Monday morning, Steven Goldstein and Daniel Gross of Teaneck became the first same-sex couple to be granted all the state's legal rights of marriage.
The two men, together for 14 years, stood before two dozen friends – and nearly as many reporters, television cameras, and photographers – to herald in the new law, while also pointing out its shortcomings.
"Do you, Steven, agree to be legally joined with Daniel under the Civil Union Law of the state of New Jersey?" asked Teaneck Deputy Mayor Lizette Parker.
"I do," said Goldstein, who heads the state's leading gay-rights organization. His partner's promise followed.
Technically, the men didn't have to go through the ceremony to secure those rights, because in 2002 they had a civil union in Vermont. New Jersey's new law recognizes civil unions and marriage licenses from outside the state. But the two said they wanted no uncertainty about the legal protections to which they're entitled.

The Record: N.J. civil-union era starts today
Monday, June 26, 2006
The Record: Goldstein a champion for his cause
"We're scared that if there's an emergency, and someone looks up whether we are civil unionized in New Jersey, who wants to go into an explanation that New Jersey automatically recognizes Vermont unions?" Goldstein said. "It just seems safer to have the piece of paper from New Jersey."
Back when they had the Vermont ceremony, the event was a lavish, two-country, three-day affair, beginning with a Jewish wedding at the extravagant Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and followed the next day by a catered bus ride over the border for the civil union ceremony. The wedding included a 14-course Thai banquet served by waiters in native Thai outfits, a seven-tier cake, two live bands, and cupcakes topped with marzipan likenesses of Gross and Goldstein. Plus a $190,000 tab.
This time around, the two were determined to play down the event, saying it was a bittersweet moment. They called the law a sign of progress, but not progress enough.
"Nothing short of marriage will do," Gross said.
Gone were the fancy, elaborate details, as well as the Rembrandts and Picassos. The handful of guests ate take-out Thai food, laid out in plastic cartons and aluminum trays. The ceremony took place above a Blockbuster Video, in the non-descript office of state Senator Loretta Weinberg (D-Teaneck), who co-authored the civil union law and served as their witness.
And instead of reading wedding vows, the couple pledged to press on with their campaign to lobby for same-sex couples' equal access to marriage.
"Do you, Daniel, vow to continue fighting for true marriage equality, so that couples like you can legally marry in the state of New Jersey one day soon?" Rabbi Elliott Tepperman asked, in a twist that was not written by Trenton legislators.
"I do," said Daniel Gross, as did Goldstein.
On Sunday, the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey issued a statement applauding the new rights afforded to same-sex couples under the new law, but adding that it nonetheless stops short.
"It is a wonderful moment -- and a step toward equality -- yet it also marks a sad and unfulfilling moment in the history of our state, as it is the day in which we officially institutionalize discrimination," said Ed Barocas, legal director of the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey.
"If such a separate system of rights and an affixation of a different label were done on the basis of race, we would decry it, call it bigotry, see it as an affront to all New Jerseyans, and call it abhorrent and wrong," he said. "When it is done on the basis of sexual orientation, it is no less of an affront to all New Jerseyans, and no less abhorrent and wrong."

Legally they HAVE to give us marriage. It's called equal

Those dogs get hungry as all do. Throw them a few bones and they won't beg for meat.
