N.J. Senator Regrets Vote Against Marriage Equality
By Michelle Garcia
A New Jersey state senator said he now regrets voting against marriage
equality last year.
Senate president Stephen Sweeney said his vote against marriage equality was
the "biggest mistake" of his political career, according to the New Jersey
Star-Ledger. The Democrat made the remarks after a floor speech regarding a
bill that could overhaul state workers' pensions and health insurance. He
compared the political calculation of this bill to last year's consideration
of marriage equality, adding that he would no longer decide how to vote
based on political gains.
"I made a decision purely based on political calculation to not vote for
marriage equality," he said, according to the Star-Ledger. "I failed in my
responsibility as majority leader to actually lead. I was wrong." | k*****e 发帖数: 22013 | 2 弃暗投明的会越来越多
