Virginia Wants Gay Marriage Ban Review by Supreme Court
This article is for subscribers only.
Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, a first-term Democrat and supporter of marriage equality, said he asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review a ruling that struck down a gay marriage ban in his state in order to get a quick final word on the issue.
Herring’s request, announced in a statement today, would be the third such bid lodged with the high court this week, following requests by lawyers defending similar measures in Utah and Oklahoma. Herring’s petition wasn’t immediately available at the court.
