On June 3, 2014, Tin Fulton Walker & Owen amended its marriage equality lawsuit to add more plaintiffs. The lawsuit — General Synod of the UCC v. Cooper — challenges the constitutionality of marriage laws in North Carolina that ban marriage between same-sex couples and make it illegal for clergy to perform wedding ceremonies for same-sex couples within their congregations. In the wake of filing the initial complaint in April, numerous other faith organizations and leaders offered up their support and desire to join the lawsuit as plaintiffs. The amended complaint adds the Alliance of Baptists, the Central Conference of American Rabbis and the Association of Welcoming & Affirming Baptists, as well as more faith leaders from a growing cross-section of religious denominations.
