New Jersey's high-profile Republican governor Chris Christie is playing coy about his feelings on same-sex marriage, which Democratic lawmakers in the state are trying to enact.
State legislators are making marriage equality a major priority in the upcoming session. Formerly an opponent of gay marriage, senate president Stephen Sweeney now supports it and thinks the legislature has the votes to not only pass a marriage bill, but also override a possible veto from Christie.
But it's not clear whether Christie will definitely quash such legislation. In the past, he voiced support for keeping New Jersey's civil unions law and holding off on marriage. Now, he's singing a slightly different tune.
"They have a right to set their agenda, I'll set mine, we'll see who gets there first," Christie said on Thursday, according to NJ.com. "When forced to make a decision, if forced to make a decision on it, I'll make a decision."
