Fight Over Gay-Marriage Amendment Continues

The Advertiser reports that Judge Michael Caldwell is scheduled to hear arguments today in a suit filed by Forum for Equality. The group is challenging a proposed constitutional amendment that seeks to ban same-sex marriages in Louisiana.

The article also notes that Orleans Civil District Judge Christopher Bruno blocked the planned vote on the amendment in a similar case on Friday, but has suspended his order to allow the state to appeal directly to the Louisiana Supreme Court.
