Will Your Senator Sponsor Equality or Discrimination?


Senator Daylin Leach recently introduced legislation that would make Pennsylvania the 7th state to legalize marriage equality.

While I am thrilled at this, I have to admit that I'm very disappointed that only one other Senator, Larry Farnese, has had the courage to stand with Senator Leach.

At the same time, 13 Pennsylvania State Senators, including 2 Democrats, have signed on to John Eichelberger's bill to ban marriage equality.

Both bills, the bill for equality and the bill for discrimination, are seeking more co-sponsors. We've created a petition asking our state senators to do two things:

1) Ask Senators to co-sponsor The Marriage Equality Bill (SB 935), and

2) Ask Senators to "just say no" to discrimination and bigotry by refusing to co-sponsor the bill to ban marriage equality.

Please join the movement toward full civil rights for all Pennsylvanians and sign our petition at Keystone Equality

Thank You,

Michael Morrill

Our senator is a bigot and I have written to him as well as blogged it. I have also written to Eichelberger. I do not understand these men. They are so terrified of homosexuals that they don't dare listen or think for fear they might change their prejudices. Ugh!
