"The law would allow cohabitating same-sex couples—and hetero couples
in which at least one partner is older than 62—to register as
domestic partners with the state attorney general's office. Domestic-
partnership status would give each partner the right to make
decisions if the other is incapacitated, such as arranging funerals
and authorizing autopsies. It would also prevent hospitals from
denying gay people access to a partner's hospital room—something that
can happen when the state does not formally recognize a relationship."

Civil Unions are discriminatory against non gay's.
If I wanted to better protect my assets beyond my death, or to
share my family benefits with an adult member of my household, whom
was of the opposite sex, I am not afforded any benefits under this
arbitrary, capricious and discriminating act in New Jersey.
I have a friend who is of the opposite sex. Yet we are like
family, she is like my big sister and I want to share my health
insurance and make sure my assets are her's to have when I pass.
We are not married, nor do we wish to marry. We want civil union
rights as well.
Without this right for all people it is a violation of all that is
decent.
I am calling upon all people to fights to see that civil union laws
stop discriminating against the majority of Americans.
We need to challenge the New Jersey Act in Federal Court...
Whose with me...
