NY: “Out-of-State Gay ‘Marriage’ Case Heads to Court”
The Christian Post reports:
The New York Supreme Court will hear arguments from a Christian legal team Thursday to determine whether Gov. David Paterson overstepped his authority when he issued an executive order mandating that all state offices recognize out-of-state gay “marriages.”
Alliance Defense Fund attorney Brian Raum will appear before the court on Thursday on behalf of N.Y. legislators and taxpayers.
“The governor should respect New York’s marriage laws over the laws of foreign jurisdictions,” said Raum. “Governor Paterson is overstepping his authority and the democratic process by issuing a directive at odds with New York public policy on marriage.”
