Alabama high court rejects challenge to gay marriage

The Alabama Supreme Court on Friday affirmed the right to same-sex marriage, dismissing a challenge by conservative religious groups that opposed such unions.

 

In a one-sentence order, the high court turned aside a lawsuit by the Alabama Citizens Action Program and the Alabama Policy Institute questioning the landmark US Supreme Court ruling last year that effectively allowed same-sex unions.

 

"It is ordered that all pending motions and petitions are dismissed," the court said in ending the legal battle.
