Homosexual marriages may
be banned in Pa.
HARRISBURG-Homosexual marriages may be banned in
Pennsylvania following a vote Tuesday in the state Senate. If
approved, Pennsylvania will also refuse to recognize same-sex unions
granted in other states. This law will make Pennsylvania one of 11
other states that have banned same-sex marriages.
Federal recognition of same-sex marriages was outlawed by
President Clinton last month. However, he left it up to the states to
make that decision within their own borders.
In addition, states also have no obligation to honor same-sex
unions performed elsewhere.
