Smelt v. Orange County
The complaint filed in federal district court alleges that Arthur Smelt and Christopher Hammer were denied a California marriage license on two separate occasions. It asks the court to declare that provisions in the California Family law code and the Federal Definition [sic] of Marriage Act (DOMA) violate Due Process, Equal Protection, the Right to Privacy, and Full Faith and Credit under the U.S. Constitution. It further prays that the court mandate the use of gender-neutral terms and issuance of a marriage license to Plaintiffs.
