Pennsylvania Senate Panel Tables Bill to Ban Gay Marriage
Yet again, another bill to ban gay marriage in Pennsylvania was tabled. This makes the third time in four years. The vote was 8-6 to table it. The bill was introduced by Sen. John Eichelberger, reports Philly.com.
According to The Dallas Voice, an announcement sent out by Sen. Daylin Leach, an LGBT ally in the Pennsylvania Legislature, said: “Since then there has been only one change in personnel on the committee. However, after speaking with my colleagues, I found that several members had grown increasingly uncomfortable with the idea of Pennsylvania continuing to discriminate against gay and lesbian couples and denying them the right to live in peace, dignity and equality.“
