New
York Anti-Gay Marriage Laws Overturned
A New York
court issued its decision striking down New York marriage laws
that ban same-sex couples from marrying as unconstitutional. While
lower courts in New York are split on the issue of marriage for
same-sex couples; the New York Court of Appeals, New York's highest
court, will have the ultimate say. The court is expected to decide
whether to take the case within the next two months. The plaintiffs
represented by the ACLU, like so many same-sex couples throughout
the state, demonstrate the types of harms that these couples face
when they are denied the protections of marriage. Read
why gay marriage is a civil right.
