Mayor Walsh on Syracuse Judge Refusal to Marry Same-Sex Couple

Published on December 04, 2024

Mayor Walsh statement: 

“Our vision for Syracuse is to be a growing city that embraces diversity and creates opportunity for all. Judge Pitts-Davis’ refusal to perform a wedding ceremony for a same-sex couple doesn’t align with this vision and, importantly, doesn’t comply with state law. The State Commission on Judicial Conduct should review this matter expeditiously.”
