This is very good news to hear in the fight for marriage equality. Something that people seem to forget is that banning same-sex marriage is unconstitutional. This ban violated the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses in the Fourteenth Amendment. This adds Pennsylvania to the other 18 states that allow same-sex marriage. Although, as the article already stated, it is prudent to remember that just because something like same-sex marriage causes some discomfort, it does not mean that the bans going against it are constitutional. This now means that 61% of the population can marry the same sex pending the stayed rulings that ruled the bans unconstitutional. Currently 43% of the US population is allowed to marry the same sex. At this rate, hopefully the rest of the country will legalize same-sex marriage.
i totally agree to everything your saying, people should be able to marry who ever they want

I'm just saying in general they want to legalize gay marriage and well they are but what about those who are against???????????????
ReplyDeleteI agree and I believe everybody should have the right to get married, Gender should not be a factor as to which somebody should get married or not. Everybody should have the same rights. I hope the country comes to realize that, and they should leagalize gay marriage.

I agree, because whether people like it or not making it illegal for same sex marriage will not change anything, they'll still be who they are and together why not let them just marry. why cant people let them be happy and marry. People that are for gay marriage can see that they are winning either way, and hopefully people start accepting that.
