| Description | NY Ministers Charged for Marrying Gays
The Honolulu Advertiser
Two ministers were charged with criminal offenses Monday for marrying 13 gay couples in what is believed to be the first time in the United States that clergy members have been prosecuted for performing same-sex ceremonies. District Attorney Donald Williams said his decision to press charges was influenced by New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's opinion that gay marriage is illegal in New York and by the injunction issued by a state supreme court justice against West.
Portland, Oregon remains the only major city in the United States where gay couples can get married. |
