7 GAY COUPLES SUE MONTANA OVER EQUAL PROTECTION
The ACLU of Montana may have found a way to force states like Texas that have outlawed same-sex marriage to provide rights to gay and lesbian couples.
The lawsuit claims Montana violates its own state constitutional guarantees of rights like privacy, equal protection and due process. The suit seeks equal rights through domestic partnerships.
By this suit, Plaintiffs do not seek the opportunity to marry nor do they seek the designation of "marriage" for their relationships. … Plaintiffs simply seek the same opportunity to obtain the statutory protections and obligations that are offered by the State to different-sex couples and their families through the legal status of marriage.
