Faith based coalition joins NC same sex marriage challenge
Charlotte area ministers join Asheville and Raleigh colleagues with United Church of Christ in filing a federal suit in Western District of North Carolina. The group argues state bans violate First and Fourteenth Amendments by hindering religious practice and equal protection. Plaintiffs include same sex couples Betty Mack and Carol Taylor. The case targets Amendment One and seeks to strike down prohibitions on performing marriages by clergy and recognizing same sex unions.
