There are only eight states in America that allows same-sex marriage, Pennsylvania sadly is not one of these states. Our group wants to lobby the state of Pennsylvania to allow same-sex marriage. There are a lot of people in the LGBT community, that would like to get married in the future. Our petition is important because banning same-sex marriage as an infringement towards the rights of Americans. Not allowing homosexual or bisexual couples to enjoy the bliss of marriage simply because they are not heterosexual is discrimination.
