Land to Congress: Stop D.C. “gay marriages”Baptist Press: “Richard Land [is] urging Congress to pass legislation requiring a public vote before the District of Columbia issues marriage licenses to homosexual couples . . . the Alliance Defense Fund filed a lawsuit on behalf of eight D.C. citizens calling for approval of an attempt to place the measure on the ballot . . . The bills, which are S. 2980 in the Senate and H.R. 4430 in the House, both bar the D.C. government from issuing marriage licenses to homosexual couples ‘until the people of the District of Columbia have the opportunity to hold a referendum or initiative on the question of whether the District of Columbia should issue same-sex marriage licenses.’” |
