The Supreme Court today rejected, without comment, a challenge to the legalization of same-sex marriage in Washington, D.C.
The rejection means the law will stand.
Bishop Harry Jackson, a pastor from Maryland, wanted the high court to hear his case against the D.C. Board of Elections and Ethics. The board refused to put a marriage initiative on the ballot, arguing that such a move would amount to discrimination.
