Alabama: Lawsuit filed regarding recognition of same-sex marriages from other states





A gay man in Alabama has filed suit against the state challenging the current ban on same-sex marriage.


Paul Hard filed the suit hoping to repeal laws banning legal recognition of his marriage that was performed in Massachusetts.

From SeattlePi.com: 

Plaintiff Paul Hard and David Fancher, both of Montgomery, were married in 2011. Three months later, Fancher was killed in a car accident.

Hard says hospital staff initially refused to speak with him, and Fancher's death certificate says he died unmarried. Hard is also not recognized as the surviving spouse in a wrongful death lawsuit.
