A church pastor in Prince William County has filed a lawsuit to block a ballot question that would remove a ban on same-sex marriage from the Virginia Constitution, FOX 5 DC reports.
Pastor Ben Purves of Occoquan Bible Church in Woodbridge claims proper procedures were not followed to place Question 2 on the ballot. The lawsuit was filed by Founding Freedoms Law Center in Prince William County Circuit Court.
Question 2 would remove the existing ban and affirm that two adults may marry regardless of sex. Early voting continues through Oct. 31. The lawsuit will not go before a judge before Election Day on Nov. 3.
