    People trying to say that religious beliefs have a place in the legal system again. How tiresome. The majority to not have sway over the rights of the minority.

    I wonder what the bigots’ next line of attack will be.

    How can a group that is trying to stop people marrying call themselves “New Yorkers for Constitutional Freedoms”. Are they taking the piss?

      Bit of an oxymoron isn’t it?

    2. seems to be a common theme in the US, if a group has the name family or freedom in their name its very likely they stand for the exact opposite of that

    For once, a court has done the right thing.

    1. “for once…..”? really? I think you will find that (especially senior) judges are way more liberal than you give them credit for.

    “Rogue legislators” = democratically elected representatives whose views I don’t agree with.

    This group’s idea of “Constitutional Freedoms” clearly doesn’t include representative democracy. Perhaps they should try a country with different “constitutional freedoms” – Iran, maybe, or North Korea.

      Something tells me they would be happy with Iran and it’s religious intolerance.
