For Release: Wednesday, June 18, 2014

Public Advocate announced today that a federal case filed against it in the Fall of 2012 in Denver, Colorado by lawyers for the Southern Poverty Law Center ("SPLC&quot has been dismissed.

This lawsuit arose out of fliers mailed out by Public Advocate informing the public that two candidates for the Colorado state legislature were supporters of homosexual marriage. Those fliers were credited by many with the defeat of those two candidates. The fliers used an adaptation of a photograph of two homosexual males kissing, and those in the picture, and the photographer who took the picture, sued, represented by SPLC lawyers.

In March 31, 2014, federal district judge Wiley Y. Daniel dismissed "misappropriation of likeness" charges brought by the two homosexuals. Once that victory was obtained, it left only the copyright claim of the photographer. That copyright claim by the photographer has now been settled on the basis of a "cost of defense" type settlement in the amount of $2,501. No payment whatsoever was made to the two homosexuals, who agreed to drop any appeal of the decision against them.

Eugene Delgaudio, President of Public Advocate, released this statement.

But when you read the decision it turns out that Eugene was the one who had to pay up. In a technical sense, I believe that is thought of as "losing."
