Christian legal organization challenges NY over gay marriage
ARIZONA -- A Christian legal organization is challenging New York Governor David Paterson's directive to provide benefits to gay couples married legally in other states and Canada. The Alliance Defense Fund said it will sue the governor in order to stop gay marriage rights from happening in New York State.
The Arizona-based group is working with state legislators on the case which in part will accuse Paterson of violating the separation of powers.
