The head of the New Jersey Assembly says he won’t post a bill to legalize same-sex marriage unless the Senate approves the measure first. Assembly Speaker Joe Roberts said Thursday that all sides had a chance to be heard during seven hours of Senate debate earlier in December.

The Senate sponsors then asked that the measure be sent to the Assembly for a committee hearing.
