A Superior Court judge let a lawsuit seeking marriage for same-sex couples in New Jersey proceed, but she sharply pared down the number of allegations in the case against the state. If the law creating civil unions does not give same-sex couples the same protections as married heterosexual couples, it has to be examined as to whether it is constitutional, Mercer County Assignment Judge Linda Feinberg said during a hearing in Trenton this afternoon.

  I found this article interesting because I believe in equality, and hope that the vote proves successful. The three qualities of newsworthiness that this article contains are importance/impact, timeliness, and conflict. The story is of importance, and has the potential to greatly impact many people, because the vote it's discussing may result in the allowance of same-sex couples to marry, and the extension of health and social benefits to these pairs. Should the vote be successful, hundreds of couples will be allotted rights equal to those of heterosexual couples. The article is timely, because the Senate decided just yesterday that this vote would be included in the May primaries. Finally, the article involves conflict between conservatives who are against the vote as a whole, and fear for its outcome, and supporters of gay rights, who are hoping for a positive outcome, and continuously battling for equality.

In England, women have the same rights as men-that is, unless they're royalty. The old-school rules of the British monarchy state that gender, not age, dictate lineage to the throne. So if Kate and Will had a girl, she'd only become queen if she didn't have a younger brother
