The American Bar Association on Tuesday unequivocally backed civil marriage rights for gay and lesbian couples. In a resolution adopted less than one week after a federal judge in San Francisco struck down California’s Proposition 8 as unconstitutional, the group acknowledges that same-sex couples “are only seeking to participate in an equal basis in a foundational institution of our civil life,” former ABA president Tommy Wells told the organization’s house of delegates. “They simply want to share in the legal blessings that we give to married couples. It can only strengthen marriage.”
A federal judge in California has knocked down the state’s voter-approved ban on same-sex marriage, ruling Wednesday that the state’s controversial Proposition 8 violates the U.S. Constitution. Chief U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker found in his ruling that the ban violated the Constitution’s equal protection clause under the 14th Amendment.
We are planning an Allies training session for either Sept 13th or 20th at 5:30 PM. Details will be posted soon.
Please mark your calendars. We are tentatively planning a reception for students and Allies on October 4th at 5:30 PM in the Farrington Gallery of Bryant Hall.
