Reply Brief of Christopher Young
Rhode Island Supreme Court Decision
BELOW ARE LINKS TO THE BRIEFS
FILED BY CHRIS YOUNG.
 
CHRIS'S MAIN POINTS IN HIS BRIEF'S ARE THAT THE STATE MAY NOT REDEFINE MARRIAGE
BECAUSE MARRIAGE IS A RELIGIOUS TERM PROTECTED UNDER THE 1ST AMENDMENT, THE
GOVERNMENT MAY NOT INFRINGE UPON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND THE COURT HAS NO
STATUTORY JURISDICTION TO PERMIT SAME SEX MARRIAGE.  ALSO THE LEGISLATURE MAY
NOT ADDRESS THE MARRIAGE ISSUE BECAUSE IT WOULD INFRINGE UPON RELIGIOUS FREEDOM
UNDER COURT PRECEDENT.  THE SUPREME COURT USED MANY OF CHRIS'S ARGUMENTS IN
IT'S TREMENDOUSLY JUST DECISION IN DEFENSE OF THE CONSTITUTION.  It is important to note
that Chris received no media coverage even though his brief had the main arguments on statutory
jurisdiction.

Amici Brief of Christopher Young
Chris Supports Domestic Partnership protections not just for State employees but every Rhode Islander.

Chris has stated, "It is unjust for the state legislature to allow domestic partnership protections for health
insurance coverage to state employees but then to deny this protection to every Rhode Islander.  Domestic
Partnership is not only for state employee same sex couples but also for all same sex couples and for men and
women who live together for a period to time.

The legislature protects the insurance companies from lower profits over Rhode Islanders health.  This benefit
could really help with the families who have been cut from the Rhode Island RIte Care Program.  The hypocrisy
is these are the same leaders who say they support same sex relationships.  The question is are these state
leaders, as state employees, writing legislation that helps themselves directly, because they are in a same sex
relationships, without care to the rest of Rhode Islanders."
Chris stated, "It has been difficult for many to see why I would take this position in defense of man and
woman marriage, to those I truly hope they will read my briefs.  A true leader will not be persuaded by the will
of the masses but will stand on the truth and by the founding documents of our great nation.  The law is still
clear in this case.  At times, although these times are surely fewer based on social injustices, the
constitutional rights of the majority need protection as well.  A true leader will not be afraid to defend the truth."
