TRENTON, Oct. 19 -- A
statewide marriage rally supporting marriage between only opposite sexes will be
held this Sunday, October 21 in Trenton on the capitol steps from 3:00 p.m. to
5:00 p.m. National organizations such as the Family Research Council,
Focus on the Family, Knights of Columbus, Alliance Defense Fund, Catholic Vote
in addition to the New Jersey Family Policy Council are supporting this event
and because of the sensitive nature of this issue, security will be present and
families are advised to be prepared when bringing children to the rally.

This week, Len Deo, president of the New Jersey Family Policy Council, called on
same-sex marriage advocates to stop abusing our justice system to advance their
agenda.
In what can be called nothing less than a defiance of democracy, lesbian couples
in Rhode Island and Oklahoma are trying to use the courts in those states to
grant them "divorces," when neither state recognizes same-sex marriages in the
first place. In fact, Oklahoma voters chose to keep traditional marriage
by a 3-to-1 margin, and yet Cait O'Darling and Stephanie A. Griffith are
attempting to use the Supreme Court of Oklahoma to usurp the power of the people
in determine the laws of their state.
According to Deo, this is a large part of why so many Americans continue to
support state marriage amendments by such large margins. The magnitude of
this issue warrants the people voting on the issue of defining marriage.
The New Jersey Family Policy Council states that the state of New Jersey must
let the people decide and let the people vote on keeping marriage between one
man and one woman.
Deo also says that the Garden State Equality (GSE) group is exaggerating the
real numbers of the LGBTI [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Intersex]
community who are being denied their rights under New Jersey's civil union law.
GSE claims of hundreds of couples being denied those rights conflict with state
records, which show only six official complaints have been filed with the New
Jersey Commission on Civil Rights.
