joining me now, evan wolfson, founder and president of freedom to marry. for being here. >> good to be with you. >> after the news of the ruling came out, governor chris christie's office said they were planning to appeal this to the state's highest court. what does that mean for couples in new jersey who want to get married? >> if the governor goes ahead and continues to be the last obstacle to couples being able to share in marriage in new jersey, it either will mean more delay, as the case makes its way up to the new jersey supreme court, or possibly the new jersey supreme court will do what it ought to do, let the marriage licenses issue, even while it hears the case. the only people being harmed right now are the couples being excluded from marriage, their loved ones and their families. nobody is harmed when gay people are able to share in marriage. >> in terms of where the fight for same-sex marriage stands nationally, 13 states plus d.c. already allow same-sex marriage. 35 states have some sort of ban on it. in light of the supreme court rulings fro
