Judge rules anti-gay marriage amendment off Louisiana ballot
[by Janet McConnaughey]
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — A proposed state constitutional ban on same-sex marriages and civil unions cannot go on the Sept. 18 ballot, a judge ruled Friday. Acting on a suit contending that such a ban would violate the Constitution, Civil District Judge Christopher Bruno stuck down the balloting, at least temporarily, on the grounds that Sept. 18 is not a true statewide election date.
Louisiana already has a law stating that marriage can only be heterosexual. Proponents want to protect that law by passing the constitutional amendment. Opponents said the amendment was illegal because it would violate rights guaranteed under the state Constitution.
