Gay Marriage Pioneer Chosen to Argue Supreme Court Case
posted on March 31, 2015Richard Wolf of USA Today reports that plaintiffs for the states of Kentucky and Michigan have chosen Mary Bonauto, the lawyer who won the first case in Massachusetts in 2003, to present their case before the Supreme Court. Bonauto is the civil rights project director for Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders, and has defended gay rights for nearly two decades. Bonauto remains confident before the case, saying in an interview, “We’re at a point where it would be shocking if the Supreme Court said it was permissible to deny marriage licenses to gay couples.”
