A gay couple in Cheyenne has dropped a federal lawsuit that challenged the Wyoming law defining marriage as existing only between a man and a woman.
The Casper Star-Tribune reports that David Shupe-Roderick and Ryan W. Dupree filed a notice Friday voluntarily dismissing their lawsuit against the state.
They say they are dismissing the suit because unspecified circumstances had changed.
The couple sued last month, alleging that Wyoming’s law defining marriage as being a contract solely “between a male and a female person” was unconstitutional.
Some gay-rights activists expressed concern about the lawsuit; others thought it might be a con. The two men were representing themselves, even though they’re not lawyers.
Wyoming gay marriage case a con?
The Billings Gazette is reporting that the two men who are suing for gay marriage in Wyoming have troubling backgrounds.
The couple, who are representing themselves, may not have actually applied for a marriage license; LezGetReal says they may not, in fact be gay, though it’s not clear what benefit they’d get from pretending to be, or from filing this suit.
