A Christian legal
organization says it has sued to stop New York from
recognizing same-sex marriages legally performed in other
states. The Alliance Defense Fund says it filed its
lawsuit Tuesday in a court in the Bronx. Several
Republican state senators are named as party to the suit.

Gay marriage is
unconstitutional in New York. Gov. David Paterson,
however, told state agencies on May 14 that New York must
recognize same-sex marriages performed in
Massachusetts, Canada, and other places where they are
legal.
The Arizona-based
legal group filing the lawsuit has intervened elsewhere
in gay marriage and religious freedom cases including those
involving abortion and what it calls traditional
family values. (AP)
