A ruling released Monday by a three-judge appellate panel in Minnesota has revived a gay-marriage lawsuit just as the battle over a state marriage amendment is getting underway.
"The appeals court ruling is obviously something we're very pleased about. Now the case will go back to the lower court where we'll have the opportunity to make our case based on the merits of the case, rather than just judicial maneuvering," said Douglas Benson, who filed the lawsuit with his partner Duane Gajewski and two other couples.
"We expect the opportunity for full discovery, testimony, exhibits, evidence and a full-scale hearing on the merit, similar to the case of Perry v. Schwarzenegger,"
