Christian Post: "As part of the effort, conservative group Stand for Marriage D.C. has launched an ad campaign through the city?s transportation system ? a move that is being opposed by Full Equality Now DC, which has demanded the ads be removed on the grounds that they disrespect LGBT residents . . . The people of D.C. have a right to vote on the definition of marriage," commented Austin R. Nimocks, senior legal counsel at Alliance Defense Fund, which has filed a lawsuit on behalf of eight D.C. citizens. 'The D.C.
