NEW YORK: Anti-Gay Religious Groups Seek To Overturn Same-Sex Marriage

Torah Jews For Decency, Liberty Counsel, and New Yorkers For Constitutional Freedoms have banded together in a doomed campaign to have New York’s marriage equality law overturned due to legislators supposedly violating some timeline regarding public notice and because meetings were allegedly held that were not open to the public.

The suit is being argued by Rena Lindevaldsen, the Liberty Counsel attorney and author of Only One Mommy, the book that recounts the story of an “ex-gay” mom that many suspect the Liberty Counsel of aiding in kidnapping her own daughter. Yesterday plaintiffs in the action gathered with “dozens of supporters” outside a New York courthouse to pray that God will rip apart New York’s gay families.

“It’s important that God’s people remember that these battles are first and best fought on our knees,” said Rev. Duane Motley, NYCF’s Founder and a plaintiff in the case. Rev. Jason J. McGuire, NYCF’s Executive Director and a plaintiff in the suit, was quoted saying: “There is no question that some politicians, particularly the Governor and many Republican senators, want this issue to go away. They’re growing increasingly nervous as both the 2012 election cycle and the scrutiny of this vote loom larger.”

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is reportedly seeking a “rapid dismissal” of the suit, the most laughable aspect of which is the OUTRAGED claim that post-election bribes were paid in the form of donations to pro-gay state senators. That’s exactly what NOM does in every single election, but when our side does it, that’s fucking illegal!
