Civil rights groups seek class action status, demand for marriage equality in Alabama
Source: LGBTQ Nation
MOBILE, Ala. — A group of civil rights organizations has filed a motion asking a federal judge to order Alabama probate judges to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples and to add plaintiffs to the suit challenging the state’s same-sex marriage ban.
The request, filed as part of a lawsuit brought by five same-sex couples who previously obtained an order from the same court requiring issuance of marriage licenses in Mobile County, seeks class-action status that would include all same-sex couples in Alabama who wish to marry and have their marriage recognized by the state.
The motion requests that the federal district court expand their lawsuit to cover all county probate judges in the state.
In Alabama, probate judges are responsible for issuing marriage licenses, and the filing asks the federal district court order to require all probate judges to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
