On April 28, 2014, Tin Fulton Walker & Owen filed a federal lawsuit challenging North Carolina’s Amendment One on behalf of clergy from across faith traditions, same-sex couples and the United Church of Christ. The case 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. The lawsuit opens a new front in marriage equality litigation: it is the only case to bring 1st Amendment religious freedom claims among the various marriage equality cases pending in courts nationally. Arnold & Porter LLP is co-counsel in the litigation. For more about the legal challenge please visit: www.amendmentonelawsuit.com
