Over the last year, this crucial federal non-discrimination legislation has gained bipartisan support and unprecedented endorsements from the business community.
Today, the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) Alabama blasted disgraced Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore for engaging in stall tactics to delay responding to charges by the Alabama Judicial Inquiry Commission that his defiance of federal marriage equality rulings violated judicial ethics rules.
Advocates say #NoMoore, HRC delivered 28,000 petitions to the Ethics Commission from members calling for Moore’s removal. No stranger to ethics complaints, Moore was removed from office in 2003 for similarly defying a federal court order.
Today, HRC Mississippi praised a decision by U.S. District Court Judge Daniel P. Jordan III in Mississippi declaring unconstitutional the state’s ban on adoption by same sex couples, citing the Supreme Court of the United States’ 2015 marriage equality ruling in the historic case Obergefell v. Hodges.
Business support comes as more than 100 grassroots supporters and advocates fan out across Capitol Hill to urge Members of Congress to support the bipartisan Equality Act.
