Wake Forest University School of Law Professor Shannon Gilreath is cited in a Feb. 24 Winston-Salem Journal article about gay marriage.
“President Barack Obama’s decision to no longer defend the constitutionality of a federal law that bars the government from recognizing same-sex marriages is a ‘very rare’ move, not often used by presidents,” according to Gilreath. “The announcement Wednesday means that the federal government will not step in to defend its own law.”
