Same-sex marriage comes to Pennsylvania

Just up the road a few miles from here, the Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, Register of Wills has been issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Some of those couples have been married in Pennsylvania. But the problem is that such marriages are against state law.

A few weeks ago, the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania announced that she would not defend state law banning gay marriage in court because she believed the law to be unconstitutional. Now the Montgomery County Register of Wills is issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. The governor is suing to stop the Montgomery County Register of Wills.

Same-sex marriage has come to Pennsylvania but this is a very confusing but interesting situation and I don’t have a clue as to how it will turn out.
