Liberty Counsel Files Amicus Brief Defending Proposition 8 in California

Sep 24, 2010

Liberty Counsel has filed an amicus brief in Perry v. Schwarzenegger on behalf of Campaign for Children and Families and JONAH (Jews Offering New Alternatives to Homosexuality), in the appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has put a stay on Judge Vaughn Walker’s ruling which struck down Proposition 8.

Liberty Counsel’s brief argues that homosexuality cannot be considered for increased protection, like race, because it is (1) difficult to define, (2) impossible to classify, (3) is not immutable, (4) is subject to change, and (5) does not meet the legal criteria for increased constitutional protection. Moreover, the existing research shows that children do best with dual gender parents – a mom and a dad. Gender does matter to the well-being of children. Finally, homosexuality presents serious physical, emotional, mental, and other health-related risks.
