N. Y. Court Rules Mayor Will Face Trial

In “N. Y. Court Rules Mayor Will Face Trial,” by Michael Gormley, from the washinghtonpost, says that in the State of New York a mayor was trying change the law allow gay couples to marry. Jason West believes that the gay couples have the same constitutional rights to wed. West’s position is that many states need to make a law about the rights of gay couples. However, because it will violate state law. West’s request was not accepted because the state court said that in the Constitution, it prohibits gay marriage. In Massachusetts, the Catholic Action League tried to stop gay marriage. The Supreme Judicial Court, which became the first to authorize same-sex weddings in 2003, however, rejected the lawsuit. In brief, the marriage between gay couples could not be denied because the voters would approve what the Catholic Action want.
