Wis. judge: Marriage imitation does not imitate marriage ADF, allies to appeal ruling that allows ‘domestic partnership’ scheme to skirt voter-approved marriage amendment
MADISON, Wis. — Alliance Defense Fund attorneys and allied attorneys representing Wisconsin taxpayers will appeal a state judge’s ruling Monday which found that a state “domestic partnership” scheme that imitates marriage does not violate the state constitution’s prohibition on imitations of marriage. The lawsuit, Appling v. Doyle, was filed in Dane County Circuit Court last year to stop then-Gov. Jim Doyle and the state legislature from skirting a voter-approved constitutional amendment protecting marriage that prohibits any “legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals.” Case Name: Appling v. Doyle Full news release, quotes, and related media resources available at the following link:
