The five towns have agreed to fix online marriage applications that only allowed heterosexual couples.
Five New Jersey towns have agreed to fix their marriage licensing systems after a state inquiry found their websites discriminated against LGBTQ couples, New Jersey’s attorney general said Thursday.
The towns’ application materials effectively limited marriage licenses to heterosexual couples, authorities said. “Our laws forbid discrimination in marriage licensing and other basic government services on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation, and no government here in New Jersey should stand in the way of that basic promise of equality,” said Sundeep Iyer, the director of the Division on Civil Rights, in a statement.
