TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Gov. Chris Christie will take no action Thursday night on a gay marriage bill OK’d by the New Jersey Assembly.

The Assembly passed the bill allowing same-sex nuptials by a 42-33 vote earlier Thursday. But the chamber isn’t required to send the bill to Christie’s desk until the close of business Friday.

Christie, a Republican who opposes gay marriage, has promised “very swift action” once the bill reaches his desk.

Christie spokesman Michael Drewniak said no action on the bill would be taken before Friday.

It pisses me off how the standards change.  First the victories of the LGBT community were invalidated because of so-called ‘activist judges’.  Now, we’re winning in the legislatures at the state level, and we have hypocritical assholes holding back rights that should belong to the queer community by virtue of the equal rights clauses in every state constitution.

Fuck you, Chris Christie.
