"The Supreme Court returned the battle over same-sex marriage to the states two weeks ago, and Deb and Susan Whitewood are among the first to pick up the fight. . . " by bringing suit to overrule PA's gay-marriage ban. "The suit, carefully assembled by the American Civil Liberties Union, was filed in Federal District Court in Harrisburg with the aim of adding Pennsylvania to the column of states permitting same-sex marriage, currently 13 plus the District of Columbia. The 23 plaintiffs come from many walks of life, including a doctor, college professors, a truck driver, a Vietnam veteran and a woman who lost her partner of 29 years. "

While related to the recent post on PA Attorney General Kathleen Kane, I thought this article deserved it's own thread.  I'll try to follow this case and see where it ends up.
