DC Catholic Archdiocese Says It Will Be In Compliance When Same-Sex Marriage Takes Effect

By Howard M. Friedman

ADVERTISEMENTS
Washington, D.C.'s new law legalizing same-sex marriage takes effect this Wednesday. (See prior posting.) Yesterday's Washington Post reports that the Washington Catholic Archdiocese that receives significant social service funding from the city says it will be in compliance with law, though it has not specified exactly what it will do. D.C. law appears to require groups receiving public funds to offer benefits to spouses of married employees, whether traditional or same-sex marriages. The Archdiocese has already transferred its foster care program to avoid having to allow same-sex couples to serve as foster parents. (See prior posting.)
