Weekly Discussion 3- Legalizing Same Sex Unions in Pennsylvania Legalizing Same Sex Marriage is a very controversial issue. Two states, Massachusetts and Connecticut, have already passed laws to allow same sex couples to wed; many other states are still considering passing laws to legalize it. Massachusetts allows same sex couples from other states to marry in their state, with intentions of residing in Massachusetts after wedding. If a same sex couple from Pennsylvania [|marries] in Massachusetts, but wants to reside in Pennsylvania, their marriage will not be valid in Pennsylvania. Do you think its fair for Pennsylvania to not recognize a Marriage legally performed in another state, just because the couple is homosexual? Please keep in mind that heterosexual couples may marry anywhere they wish, with the proper license, and have their marriage recognized in our state even if it wasn’t performed here. Should Pennsylvania allow same sex couples to marry in Pennsylvania?
