LGBT Org: Did Roy Moore Collude With Anti-Gay Groups In Gay Marriage Case Before His Court?
"Did Roy Moore Use State Resources to Coordinate Third Party Attacks on Marriage Equality?" That's the question the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) is asking now, about the Alabama Chief Justice.

The nation's largest LGBT civil rights group is also wondering, very publicly, if "Justice Moore violated judicial codes of conduct by encouraging probate judges to deny LGBT couples their constitutional right to marry."
API and ALCAP filed an emergency motion to have the Alabama State Supreme Court intervene and halt the issuance of all marriage licenses to same-sex couples across the state.
