NJ Supreme Court to hear gay marriage case Oct 11th 2013, 22:23, by By Associated Press, Associated Press TRENTON, N.J. — The state's highest court on Friday agreed to hear a case on whether gay marriage should be legal and whether same-sex marriage licenses can be issued while it decides. The issue, battled in New Jersey's courts and Legislature for more than a decade, has taken on new urgency on both fronts with the opponents the same — Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican who is considered a possible 2016 presidential candidate, and the state's gay rights advocates. The Supreme Court's decision to take up the case was the one thing both sides wanted.

Judge Mary Jacobson on Thursday, Oct. 10, 2013 refused to delay the start of same-sex marriage in New Jersey until a legal appeal can be settled. But the administration of Republican Gov. Chris Christie immediately sought and was granted a request to file an emergency challenge to the decision. (image/jpeg)
