NY ruling decision is victory for backers of marriage redefinition
Gay marriage advocates have won a partial victory in New York, as the state’s highest court has left in place a lower court ruling that recognized a lesbian couple as being married.
The Court of Appeals declined yesterday to review the mid-level appellate court’s decision to recognize the couple’s Canadian marriage, the first such ruling by an appellate court in New York State.
For now, that lower court decision remains binding across the state.
The NYCLU has issued this press release: New York’s Highest Court Denies Review of Ruling Recognizing Lesbian Couple’s Canadian Marriage.
