PA Marriage Protection Amendment (SB 707) DIES in Committee!
On March 16, Senate Bill 707, the so-called “Marriage Protection Amendment” was tabled in a bipartisan vote of 8-6.
Thanks to your efforts, the bill is effectively dead and will NOT move to the Senate floor. Let’s now thank the eight Senators who voted to table this divisive and discriminatory bill.
Click the “Thank You” link to send a thank-you to the Pennsylvania Senators that voted to keep hate and discrimination out of our state constitution.
DID YOU KNOW…?
* Many lesbians and gays are aware of their sexual orientation at a very young age.
* Others don’t discover that they are gay, lesbian, or bisexual until adulthood.
* Children cannot be taught to be gay, and homosexuality is not a “lifestyle choice.”
* Children are not “made gay” by their parents.
* It is impossible for gays and lesbians to “become” heterosexual, and trying to do so is emotionally and psychologically harmful.
* More and more churches and religious organizations recognize the value of same-sex relationships and love.
* The American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association have recognized that homosexuality is not a mental or emotional “disorder.”
* Many lesbian and gays have enduring, loving, long-term relationships with their partners.
* Many lesbian and gay couples raise healthy, happy children.
