The lawyers challenging Virginia’s ban on same-sex marriage are fighting a request by class representatives, in a separate but parallel case, to join pending litigation in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
The class, which includes 14,000 same-sex couples in Virginia who want to marry, filed papers in the Fourth Circuit to intervene in Bostic v. Schaefer. The plaintiffs’ lawyers in Bostic, including Theodore Olson and David Boies, on March 3 said they oppose the class motion to intervene.
