Law student sorry for €6.75m suit over gay marriage question

A DUBLIN law student who tried to sue the Massachusetts State Bar Association for $9.75 million (€6.75m) for including a gay marriage question on his exam has apologised after withdrawing the action.

Last June, Stephen Dunne refused to answer the question on same-sex marriage because he said it would “defile his Christian faith”.

He said the exam was not the place for a “morally repugnant and patently offensive” question addressing the rights of married lesbians, their children and their property.
