Court: “N.Y. agencies can give benefits to same-sex couples married elsewhere”
Catholic Courier: “‘State and local officials should not use marriage laws from outside jurisdictions to subvert the legislature,’ ADF Senior Counsel Brian Raum said in a statement. ‘We are disappointed that the court did not address the real issue in this case: whether New York law requires the recognition of same-sex “marriages” from outside the state. In New York, the only relationship recognized as marriage is the committed union of a man and a woman.’”
