Louisiana State Judge Strikes Down Same-Sex Marriage Ban – SUCK IT Tony Perkins!

Louissiana

 

Last month Family Research Council’s Tony Perkins crowed about corrupt U.S. District Judge Martin Feldman upholding Louisiana’s ban on same-sex marriage. But today a state judge struck down the ban as unconstitutional.

Judge Edward Rubin of the 15th Judicial District Court in Louisiana ruled that state law prohibiting same-sex marriage is unconstitutional, violating the due process and equal protection clauses of 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution as well as the full faith and credit clause. The news comes weeks after District Judge Martin Feldman upheld the Louisiana Constitution’s ban on same-sex marriage in an error-riddled decision. Feldman’s decision was a sudden monkey wrench following 21 consecutive federal rulings against banning gay marriage, a previously unbroken streak since the Supreme Court struck down the Defense of Marriage Act in 2013.

The case, In Re Costanza and Brewer, was filed in 2013 on behalf of Angela Marie Costanza and Chastity Shanelle Brewer, who are raising their 10-year-old son in Lafayette. The case sought respect for Angela and Chastity’s marriage license; since Louisiana did not respect their marriage, one mother was not permitted to legally adopt her son.

Judge Rubin’s order today is a swift rebuttal and kick in the ass to Judge Martin Feldman.
