Ugh. I hoped it wouldn’t come here. I don’t want to have to marry my girlfriend for health benefits, we have them now. If the law changes we’ll have to marry. We will of course get a sweet ass tax break though. Secret ceremony, I guess. I really just don’t believe in marriage in general. But for those that want to ruin their lives with marriage, how nice for you and my continued support.

Yeah, I’m just surprised that someone introduced it. That’s a start. It has no chance of passing, but could hopefully start a good dialogue. We can’t even get HB300, an anti-discrimintation bill, passed. Democratic leadership in the House had more or less tied it up in the Appropriations committee. I guess this means they don’t have the votes for it (?) because lots of the white, old and/or Catholic, conservative Democrats don’t support it and are offering tons of amendments to it. Sigh! But, it’s a start…

my husband and I married in Massachusettes last year and live in Pennsylvania. I am kind of shocked that they would introduce this bill for marriage equality in Pennsylvania right now and i really dont think they expect to get it through but i guess it’s a start

I’m truly ashamed to call myself an American these days! It used to be “head west young man”, now I say go north to Canada.

And this hatred is coming from a state that has a city nicknamed ” The City of Brotherly Love”. I would really hate to see what would happen if it was …..brotherly hate.

If Californians can challenge a constitutional amendment (as they immediately working toward doing so,
Then that means that a constitutional amendment may be a difficulty and a roadblock, but it is no longer the end of the world equality-wise.

The push toward equality and justice will finally push the barriers to freedom aside.

Equal marriage is over due in this country. Take religion out of the picture. I want to have the same rights like everyone else. My Domestic Partner and I would like to have the securities and rights in case something happen to one of us. Religion should not be involved on this matter at all. Family is a family not matter what combination you want to make.

It’s EQUAL MARRIAGE. It’s MARRIAGE EQUALITY. It’s our Civil Right and we will fight for it not to be taken away, just as anyone else would. California Judges failed to protect the Constitution and Bill Of Rights and their own authorities, giving all power to a majority vote. Dundamental Inalienable Rights are NON-VOTABLE by a simple majority. Those states that have taken rights away will be overturned. The horse is out of the barn and is free.
