Chris Christie Vetoes Gay Marriage Law, Web Not Happy

As promised, governor Chris Christie has vetoed a law permitting gay marriage in New Jersey, which passed the state assembly only yesterday. Christie, who is suspected to be a strong contender for a Republican cabinet position or vice-presidential pick, has vowed to throw the issue of gay marriage to a ballot measure, for a direct vote by the citizens.

The liberal-leaning socia media universe is up in arms:

Chris Christie has to veto marriage equality or he’ll never be the GOP nominee. Thankfully, it also means he’ll never be President.

Chris Christie decides all marriages are equal, but some are more equal than others.
