Coalition appeals ruling denying D.C. marriage vote

Charisma Magazine: “The Alliance Defense Fund (ADF)—which in November filed a lawsuit against the elections board on behalf of members of the Stand4Marriage DC Coalition—is appealing the decision. They say the anti-discrimination laws in question were written in the 1970s, long before same-sex marriage was being debated nationally, and should not be used to prevent a referendum. ‘The people of D.C. have a right to vote on the definition of marriage, and the D.C. Charter guarantees that right,’ said ADF attorney Timothy J. Tracey.”
