Opponents of marriage equality filed a lawsuit in D.C. Superior Court today hoping to force a referendum on whether to recognize same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions. The civil suit against the District's two-member Board of Elections asks Judge Judith E. Retchin to overturn an elections board ruling Monday that blocked a proposal to put the issue before the voters. If the court does not intervene, recognition of same-sex marriages performed elsewhere will become law in early July, after the required congressional review period has ended. [Link]
