Gay Couples can Recieve Benefits Declares NY Judge
Legally married same sex couples in New York can receive benefits an Albany NY court judge ruled. The judgment came after a Christian legal group challenged a ruling that allowed homosexual couples to receive government benefits. To that end, the court came just shy of indicating whether or not same sex spouses were privy to all the same entitlements enjoyed by heterosexual married couples.
The ruling came down Thursday and although New York doesn’t allow same sex marriage, the judgment protects the rights of couples married elsewhere.
The case was propelled forward by the Alliance Defense Fund of Scottsdale, Arizona, a Christian Group who is against same sex marriages and any benefits supplied to that end. The judge cautioned that groups that seek to pursue such matters may create “an unworkable pattern of conflicting orders by public officials involving different benefits and rights.”
