Judge Refuses To Remove
Reparative Therapy Statements From Lawsuit To Defend Traditional Marriage
January 3, 2005 - San Francisco Superior Court Judge Richard Kramer has
refused to remove statements on reparative therapy from a lawsuit that
challenges California law on the definition of marriage as a one-man, one-woman
union.
The judge has also refused to allow the city of San Francisco to add any
statements to the lawsuit that are designed to refute the statements made by
such experts as Dr. Jeffrey Satinover and Dr. George Rekers, both NARTH members.
The state law currently defines marriage as a one-man, one-woman union but this
is being challenged by gay activists.
City attorney Kathleen Morris told the San Francisco Chronicle: "We don't want
that hateful stuff to go into the record without being responded to." The
Alliance Defense Fund represents the Proposition 22 Legal Defense and Education
Fund in defending the state law as written.
