Federal court tosses lawsuit
challenging federal Defense of Marriage Act

ADF attorneys defended federal law defining marriage as one man, one woman

SANTA ANA, Calif. — A federal court Monday threw out a lawsuit filed against the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which defines marriage as the union of one man and one woman.  The decision to dismiss the case comes just over a month since the same court threw out a portion of the lawsuit that challenged California’s constitutional amendment protecting marriage.  Alliance Defense Fund attorneys represent ProtectMarriage.com in the suit.
