CNN's Soledad O'Brien brings the story of Yvonne Moore, who sued Covenant Baptist Church in Washington, D.C., over its support for marriage equality.

Moore, a parishioner for 37 years, sued to reclaim a portion of her weekly donations, which she estimates totaled nearly $250,000. She attended a commitment ceremony at the church in 2007, before same-sex marriage became legal in the district, and said she found it "totally disgusting."

Moore has dropped her lawsuit and left the church. Watch the segment from CNN.
