Judge Strikes Down Pennsylvania Same-Sex Marriage Ban
A federal judge Tuesday declared Pennsylvania’s ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional, the fourth such ruling on a state ban in the past three weeks.
Judge John Jones III ruled in favor of 23 Pennsylvania residents who challenged the law.
“The issue we resolve today is a divisive one. 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,” he said.
