TRENTON, N.J. -- The New Jersey Senate defeated a bill Thursday to legalize gay marriage, making it unlikely the state will have a gay marriage law in the very near future.
The bill needed 21 votes to pass; only 14 senators approved the measure. The vote was 20-14.

"We should not be telling one couple you can be married and another couple you can be civil unionized," said Sen. Bill Baroni, the only Republican senator who has supported gay marriage.
"We are better than that. History is watching us now. She is asking us whether we'll side with equality and right -- or for discrimination," he added.
