Challenge to DC marriage redefinition law intensifies
with new appeal

ADF, Stand4MarriageDC stand firm for voters’ right, desire
to have say on law passed without voter input

WASHINGTON — Alliance Defense Fund and Stand4MarriageDC attorneys appealed a court order Monday that denied their motion to keep a D.C. marriage redefinition law from going into effect on the projected date of March 3.  The attorneys represent Bishop Harry Jackson and other registered voters who are seeking to give the 59 percent of voters in the district who say they want to vote on the D.C. Council’s new law that changes the legal definition of marriage the opportunity to do so.

Case Name:  Jackson v. District of Columbia Board of Elections and Ethics
