A recent article posted on 365Gay.com reports that the New Jersey Legislature is unlikely to consider same-sex marriage legislation until after the November elections, linking Democratic leaders' concerns about creating a wedge with NOM's recent radio ad campaign in the state:  

". . . But it is doubtful any legislation will be introduced before the November election.

"Democrats who overwhelmingly control both houses in the Legislature are concerned any move right now on gay marriage would provide Republicans with a wedge issue.

"Late last year a conservative group opposed to same-sex marriage launched radio ads throughout New Jersey using children's voices to denounce gay unions. The ads began with an announcer saying "If we change the definition of marriage.." but is interrupted by a child.

"Grandma, my teacher said if grandpa was a girl that's ok, you can still be married," the voice says. The announcer then returns to say: "Our kids will be taught a new way of thinking: 'God created Adam and Eve is so old-fashioned.'"

"Thinking the unthinkable: 'If my dad married a man, who would be my mom?'" The ads were paid for by the National Organization for Marriage."
