FILE - In this Feb. 12, 2014, file photo, Nicholas J. Van Sickels stands with his husband, Andrew S. Bond, not seen, and holds their adopted daughter, Jules, 2, before a news conference in New Orleans about a federal lawsuit filed, to challenge the Louisiana Constitution's ban on recognizing same-sex marriages. New Orleans has long enjoyed a reputation in the South as a welcoming place for the lesbian and gay community. That reputation will be on display when the city hosts the NBA All-Star game next weekend. The game was awarded to New Orleans after the league decided to pull it from Charlotte last year.
