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.

But HRC wants to find out if Moore "concocted an organized plan to stop same-sex marriages by enlisting two anti-LGBT groups –the Alabama Policy Institute (API) and the Alabama Citizens Action Plan (ALCAP) -- to file emergency petitions to the Alabama Supreme Court."

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.
