Should New Jersey hold a referendum on same-sex marriage?

“No, that’s an issue for legislators. They’re more informed. It’s better to have experts decide such matters, because they understand the legal repercussions. With a referendum, you’d have some people voting in a biased manner. That would be unfortunate.”

“No. [Same-sex marriage] will never pass if it’s subjected to majority rule. Too many people are naive and self-centered. They don’t accept diversity. It’s the government’s role to make sure same-sex couples have the right to marry.”

“Yes. I believe in people’s ability to make decisions that affect their lives. If people speak and the answer is no, then so be it. We have to submit to the will of the people.”

“Yes, let the people decide, not the government. The government tries to get involved in people’s personal lives too much. It’s not the government’s job to decide who should marry. That’s a community issue.”
