Pennsylvania state bigotry bill dies in committee

Good news from Harrisburg: Yesterday, the Pennsylvania State Senate Judiciary Committee voted to table SB 707, the so-called "Marriage Protection Amendment". This discriminatory bill would have written bigotry into the state constitution by banning same-sex marriage in Pennsylvania.

The bill was tabled via a bipartisan vote of 8-6, so it will not move to the Senate floor at this time.

Let's keep our fingers crossed in hopes that this bill does not get resurrected in the future.
