Even though it’s been two months now that same-sex couples in the District can legally marry and even longer since the last time a court ruled against a proposed ballot measure on the practice, opponents of marriage equality haven’t given up the fight.

GLAA Forum reported last week on a protest set for Tuesday and scheduled to coincide with an appeals hearing on whether or not the District’s Board of Elections and Ethics properly ruled that allowing residents to vote on the definition of marriage would violate the city’s Human Rights Act. Lower courts have sided with the board; Bishop Harry Jackson and other opponents of same-sex marriage are asking that the D.C. Court of Appeals rule in their favor and allow a ballot measure to move forward. The protest will take place tomorrow at 9 a.m. outside the court (430 E Street NW) and is being sponsored by the National Organization for Marriage. Participants are being asked to wear white because, well, it’s tough to say why. Our best guess is that they’re trying to use the association of white as a color of moral purity to benefit their cause.

In related news, Right Wing Watch reported over the weekend on a flier (posted above) produced by the National Organization for Marriage that has been distributed in parts of the city. The flier demands that residents be given the chance to vote on the definition of marriage. It also calls on residents to vote against elected officials who sided with marriage equality and are up for re-election this year, including Mayor Adrian Fenty and Council member Harry Thomas, Jr. (D-Ward 5). Thomas admitted at the time that the vote would be politically tough for him. And as further evidence that the efforts against same-sex marriage in the District aren’t particularly local, two officials on the flier are mistakenly referred to as “Tommie” Wells (that would be Ward 6’s Tommy Wells) and Del. Eleanor Norton (as in D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton.) Oops.
