Washington, DC – The U.S. Supreme Court refused to review an important case involving natural marriage and family, thus allowing the federal court of appeals decision to stand. The case involved unmarried same-sex partners who unsuccessfully sued to change an adopted boy’s birth certificate to state that the child had two fathers. The ruling by the en banc (16 judges) Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals stated that two same-sex partners from New York who adopted a Louisiana-born infant could not force Louisiana to change the birth certificate to state that the child had two “dads.” This decision is a big victory for natural family and for states to protect marriage and family. Liberty Counsel filed an amicus brief in the case.
