- Judge: Wisconsin’s domestic registry doesn’t violate state constitutional ban on gay marriage – The Washington Post – “Wisconsin Family Action” isn’t about “defending marriage” — it’s just about marginalizing gays. I would be very pleased by this ruling, if I thought it won’t be overturned by the state Supreme Court.
