A self-identified “Christian, straight, married” father of nine and grandfather of seven said today he is filing what is likely to be the first lawsuit challenging Wisconsin’s recently passed constitutional ban on gay marriage.
Bill McConkey, an instructor of political science at University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh and resident of Baileys Harbor, was planning to drop off his 14-page complaint this morning at the Dane County Courthouse. McConkey, who is not an attorney, prepared the lawsuit on his own.
