The parents of Rutgers freshman Tyler Clementi have filed notice of possible intent to sue the school.

The parents, Joseph and Jane Clementi of Ridgewood, N.J., filed legal notices with the …

New Jersey’s DMV has approved an anti-abortion specialty license plate. Sales from the plate go to a Christian “pregnancy care center” where women are counseled about the “moral choice” before them. (In other words, probably one of those fake abortion clinics.) New Jersey becomes the 26th state to approve such a plate since the Supreme Court refused to block them …

This week New Jersey’s legislature nearly unanimously approved what would be the nation’s stiffest anti-bullying bill. But GOP Gov. Chris Christie isn’t convinced he should sign it. “Now, bullying is an important problem in New Jersey, and this anti-bullying bill that was passed is something that when it gets to my desk I’m going to study very closely and decide …

Today the New Jersey legislature overwhelmingly approved a new anti-bullying bill. Passage of the law gained momentum in the wake of the suicide of Rutgers student Tyler Clementi, who threw himself from the George Washington Bridge after his dorm mate live-streamed a gay sexual encounter over the internet. The bill passed 30-0 in the state Senate and 71-1 in the …

Saying that Facebook facilitates adultery, last week Rev. Cedric Miller of Asbury Park, New Jersey ordered all of the married members of his church’s leadership to permanently log-out of the site or step down. That edict made national news and I so wish I’d covered it at the time because it turns out the good reverend has an interesting history …

Rutgers University’s Daily Targum has published an editorial denouncing the media frenzy around the suicide of student Tyler Clementi, arguing that gay activists have turned his death into a “cause based on false pretenses.” It is disappointing that everyone from news to celebrities picked up the story. Actress Brittany Snow and actor Neil Patrick-Harris are just two of the many …

The Jewish Standard says that it is SO very sorry to have run that gay wedding announcement and won’t be doing that again. We set off a firestorm last week by publishing a same-sex couple’s announcement of their intent to marry. Given the tenor of the times, we did not expect the volume of comments we have received, many of …

The New York Times reports more details about the suicide of 18 year-old Rutgers freshman Tyler Clementi, who jumped off the George Washington Bridge after his roommate streamed live video of Clementi having sex with a man. Clementi’s final Facebook update: “Jumping off the gw bridge. sorry.” It started with a Twitter message on Sept. 19: “Roommate asked for the …

Two Rutgers University students have been charged with invasion of privacy after secretly live-streaming video of a gay student having sex with a man in his dorm room.

New Jersey Attorney General Paula Dow has turned down requests that her office launch an independent investigation into the killing of DeFerra Gaymon, who was shot in a Newark-area park by an undercover detective who now claims Gaymon made a sexual advance on him. Gayman was a Georgia business executive who was in town for his 30th high school reunion. …

“Gay marriage advocates were trying to do an end-run around the normal legal process, and the New Jersey Supreme Court refused to comply. The sense of entitlement among gay marriage advocates is growing so rapidly, it was always absurd to think that the judges would skip the normal steps. Under Governor Christie the state will actually try to defend the …

In a 3-3 split decision (one seat is vacant), this morning the New Jersey Supreme Court declined to hear a case challenging the unfairness of the state’s civil unions law. The case was brought by Lambda Legal and Garden State Equality. Metro Weekly’s Chris Geidner quotes GSE: “Because of the legislature’s inability to act and the Supreme Court’s decision today, …

NOM’s Brian Brown took a minute to spin spin spin to a cameraman (from Garden State Equality, I think) about their attendance and the fake families on the side of their Hate Bus. Yeah, yeah, whatevs, Miss Brown. But definitely hang around until 4:30 when PFOX “ex-gay” leader Greg Quinlan talks about his dream spouse. It’s classic. Quinlan will be …

And more from Blue Jersey’s Jay Lassiter on yesterday’s NOM Hate Tour visit to Trenton. Watch this, but grab a tissue first.

Last Friday night, Georgia executive Dean Gaymon was shot and killed by undercover detectives in a Newark area park known for public cruising. Police claim Gaymon “made a sexual move” towards a detective, which as we all know is a death penalty crime. According to the officer, he made an arrest in an unrelated case when he realized he has …

Not too many people have signed on to the Jersey Doesn’t Stink campaign so far. Hmm. (Via – Gothamist)

Here’s some “real” insanity. Teresa Giudice, the bling-loving fake-boobed star of The Real Housewives Of New Jersey, has filed for bankruptcy. And court papers reveal that although Guidice and her husband only make a combined $80K annually, they are a staggering $11M in debt. The Giudices say they owe creditors $10,853,648.04. Teresa, known for her lust for designer clothes and …
