Same-Sex Marriage
8 Senators Tell PA: “No, You May Not Vote”
Not only is it a lie (and don’t these religious types know that bearing false witness is a sin?) but it misses the point entirely.
Time To Say Thanks for PA SB 707
There is one major task left in regards to this bill. We need to say thank-you to those senators who voted to table the bill, and keep the PA Constitution free from discrimination.
Phone Calls Needed Against PA SB 707
On Tuesday morning, the PA Senate Judiciary Committee will be taking up John Eichelberger’s SB 707 which would amend the PA Constitution, writing discrimination into it. The bill would essentially change nothing except that the ban on same-sex marriage would be built directly into the constitution.

Polling Data Concerning Same-Sex Marriage in Pennsylvania
