Pro-gay marriage TV commercials hit air in New Jersey -- Newsday.com

3:53 PM EST, November 6, 2007
MOUNT LAUREL, N.J.

Two liberal New Jersey groups are debuting pro-gay-marriage television commercials tonight. Garden State Equality and Blue Jersey are running the spots on News 12 New Jersey. The ads will run for two weeks _ longer if the groups can raise money to keep them on the air. The ads are the most public part yet of a campaign to persuade the state's lawmakers to allow gay couples to marry. New Jersey already allows same-sex couples to enter civil unions. But gay rights advocates say they don't offer enough protections. Opponents of gay marriage say marriage should be between a man and a woman and that children do better in those families. ___
