This just doesn’t get old. It is completely glorious that all of these barriers to same sex marriage are falling like dominoes. Today, Pennsylvania’s ban on same sex marriage was struck down by a Federal judge :
“The issue we resolve today is a divisive one,” Jones wrote. “Some of our citizens are made deeply uncomfortable by the notion of same-sex marriage. However, that same-sex marriage causes discomfort in some does not make its prohibition constitutional. Nor can past tradition trump the bedrock constitutional guarantees of due process and equal protection.”
Right on. And in Philadelphia, the city started issuing marriage licences to same sex couples right away. A group of 300 or so gathered at City Hall to celebrate — dancing in the streets in Philly!
Such great news — I think that this is the last state in the Northeast to have legal same sex marriage, right?
