NORTH DAKOTA: Another Marriage Suit

Via the Associated Press:
A second lawsuit has been filed in federal court challenging North Dakota’s ban on same-sex marriage. The 33-page complaint filed by Jan Jorgensen and Cindy Phillips, who live in Fargo and were legally married in Minnesota, says the couple is treated as “legal strangers” in their home state. Last week, seven couples filed a complaint to make North Dakota the last state with a challenged same-sex marriage ban. Jorgensen and Phillips are represented by the national gay rights group Lambda Legal. Attorney Kyle Palazzolo says the couple approached Lambda about legal action because of the marriage momentum around the country.
