Christian Legal Group Asks Judge to Drop Conn. Gay Marriage Case

A Christian legal group based in Washington, D.C., is asking a Connecticut court to drop a lawsuit that would redefine marriage to include same-sex partners.

The American Center for Law and Justice issued a “friend of the court” document on Wednesday with a superior court in New Haven, Conn., asking the judge to dismiss the Kerrigan v. The State of Connecticut, et. al.case.

The case was filed in the New Haven court last year by seven homosexual couples who said “civil unions” that confer the same legal benefits of marriage were not enough for those who seek to have the same legal benefits as heterosexual married couples and seek for society to recognize that their union is a marriage, denoting a life long commitment with the purpose, in several instances, of raising children.
