Couple sues to get names on certificate
Lafayette, Indiana, couple Ashlee and Ruby Henderson have filed a federal lawsuit to get their names on their son's birth certificate, according to an Associated Press item.
They claim Indiana's birth certificates discriminate against gay married couples and their children because they do not account for both spouses being the same gender.
The complaint, filed in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis, challenges how state law defines "born in wedlock" and "born out of wedlock," saying it violates the equal protection and due process clauses of the 14th Amendment.
