Anti Gay Flunker Drops Case

[mondo joe]

Former law student Stephen Dunne filed a federal lawsuit against the state of Massachusetts earlier this summer, alleging that a “gay marriage” question on the bar exam violated his religious and first amendment rights. He refused to answer that question and flunked the test. I say too bad, on just the grounds of losing the entertainment of seeing his anti-gay ass LOSE in a real court of law.

A Boston man has asked a federal court to dismiss his lawsuit in which he claimed that his refusal to answer a Massachusetts bar exam question related to gay marriage caused him to fail the test.

In court documents, Dunne said he wanted to drop his suit because the July bar exam didn’t include what he called the “patently offensive and morally repugnant” gay marriage question. He characterized that as a “corrective action” by the board.

But in court documents filed yesterday, the board’s attorney said the board has “not agreed to limit the content” of any future bar exams. The board’s decision not to include the same question on the July exam “merely reflects their standard practice of not repeating questions on successive bar examinations,” the court filing said. The exam question read: “Yesterday, Jane got drunk and hit (her spouse) Mary with a baseball bat, breaking Mary’s leg, when she learned that Mary was having an affair with Lisa. As a result, Mary decided to end her marriage with Jane in order to live in her house with (children) Philip (and) Charles and Lisa. What are the rights of Mary and Jane?”

The board maintains that the question was a legitimate one regarding current Massachusetts law.
