ALBANY, N.Y. — New York’s highest court did not address the central issue in a ruling Thursday on two lawsuits that challenged the state’s attempt to recognize out-of-state same-sex “marriages” by state and county officials, say attorneys with the Alliance Defense Fund who brought the suits.

Case Name:  Lewis v. New York State Department of Civil Service and Godfrey v. Spano
