""God did not make me to hate me," said State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta, emphasizing the importance of the legislation that aligns Pennsylvania's laws with the principle of marriage equality."
"The bill would redefine marriage in state statute as a union between 'two individuals,' replacing outdated language that limited marriage to 'one man and one woman.'"
The Pennsylvania House voted 127-72 to pass legislation codifying marriage equality into state law, redefining marriage as a union between two individuals. This bill replaces outdated language that defined marriage as between one man and one woman and repeals provisions invalidating same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions. Although the U.S. Supreme Court's Obergefell v. Hodges decision settled marriage rights, this legislation aims to align state law with current realities and protect those rights from potential federal changes.
