A challenge to Wisconsin's gay marriage ban. The state's constitutional amendment could be overturned

William McConkey is challenging Wisconsin's gay marriage ban. According to The Capital Times, McConkey had originally claimed that Wisconsin's constitutional amendment violated the equal protection clause of the U.S. Constitution, but County Circuit Judge Richard Niess ruled that McConkey did not have standing to sue on that issue.

Dateline Wisconsin. A self-described "family man" helps lesbian and gay couples achieve legal recognition.

Bill McConkey wants to play fair in the fight for marriage equality in Wisconsin. He's also a straight, married, Christian - with a lesbian daughter.

McConkey is trying to prove that wording of the constitutional amendment, as it was submitted to Wisconsin voters, violated Article 12 Section I of the Wisconsin Constitution.
