The Thomas More Society recently filed a Motion in behalf of Christie Webb of Tazewell County in central Illinois and Kerry Hirtzel of Effingham County in southern Illinois asking to intervene so that it can be allowed to defend Illinois’s marriage law in response to lawsuits filed by Lambda Legal and the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois.
The lawsuits filed by Lambda Legal and the ACLU claim Illinois’s ban on same-sex marriage violates the Illinois Constitution’s equal protection and due process clauses. Neither the Cook County State’s Attorney nor Illinois Attorney General are defending Illinois’s current marriage ban.
