This brief provides excerpts from cases from non‐U.S. jurisdictions that have weighed in on this claim and found that there is no right to same‐sex marriage in the relevant legal charters the courts were assessing. It also notes court decisions that have relied on the organic law of the nation to mandate a redefinition of marriage. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/06/10/imapp-research-brief-international-courts-on-marriage-is-gay-marriage-a-fundamental-right/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/05/02/ny-times-a-tipping-point-for-gay-marriage/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/05/02/ny-times-a-tipping-point-for-gay-marriage/#comments Mon, 02 May 2011 16:37:13 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=102461 NY Times: or many gay rights advocates, the decision amounts to a turning point in the debate — the moment at which opposition to same-sex marriage came to look like bigotry, similar to racial discrimination and the subordination of women. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/05/02/ny-times-a-tipping-point-for-gay-marriage/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/03/11/imapp-february-2011-marriage-law-digest-online/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/03/11/imapp-february-2011-marriage-law-digest-online/#comments Fri, 11 Mar 2011 22:41:13 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=97868 here [pdf]. ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/03/11/imapp-february-2011-marriage-law-digest-online/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/02/11/despite-media-hype-most-courts-and-voters-have-rejected-so-called-right-to-same-sex-marriage/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/02/11/despite-media-hype-most-courts-and-voters-have-rejected-so-called-right-to-same-sex-marriage/#comments Fri, 11 Feb 2011 15:44:40 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=95207 ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2011/02/11/despite-media-hype-most-courts-and-voters-have-rejected-so-called-right-to-same-sex-marriage/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/05/11/imapp-april-2010-marriage-law-digest-no-online/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/05/11/imapp-april-2010-marriage-law-digest-no-online/#comments Tue, 11 May 2010 14:25:31 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/05/11/imapp-april-2010-marriage-law-digest-no-online/ Institute for Marriage and Public Policy: "The April 2010 Marriage Law Digest, edited by Bill Duncan of the Marriage Law Foundation, is now available here." ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/05/11/imapp-april-2010-marriage-law-digest-no-online/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/04/08/imapp-march-2010-marriage-law-digest-now-online/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/04/08/imapp-march-2010-marriage-law-digest-now-online/#comments Thu, 08 Apr 2010 15:28:54 +0000 ADF Alliance Alert http://www.alliancealert.org/wordpress/2010/04/08/imapp-march-2010-marriage-law-digest-now-online/ issue here.
