PA Same-Sex Couples Seek Marriage Licenses
The October 2006 wedding of A.J. and Diane Anderson had all the elements of a typical ceremony — a tuxedo, a gown, a walk down the aisle, family and friends in the audience, an exchange of vows in front of a pastor. When it was over, the couple left the Metropolitan Community Church of Pittsburgh for a honeymoon at a bed and breakfast. Unlike most weddings, though, it wasn’t sealed with a Pennsylvania marriage license. A.J. and Diane, who are lesbians, officially were married in New York in 2012, but their relationship is unrecognized by Pennsylvania. This morning, the two women and four other same-sex couples will celebrate Valentine’s Day by applying for marriage licenses at the City-County Building.
