Gay judge nominated

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie last week nominated an openly gay African American man to the state Supreme Court.

If confirmed by the Democratic-controlled Senate, Bruce Harris, the 61-year-old mayor of Chatham, would be New Jersey’s first openly gay Supreme Court member, and the seventh in the nation to sit on the highest court of a state.

The Republican would also be the third African American to sit on New Jersey’s highest court.
