PA County issues same-sex marriage license

Five same-sex couples obtained marriage licenses Wednesday in a suburban Philadelphia county defying a state ban on such unions, but the governor's spokesman said the local officials lack the power to suspend state law.

Alicia Terrizzi and Loreen Bloodgood, of Pottstown, were the only couple to marry right away, exchanging vows in a park before a minister and their two young sons.

"We're not setting out to be pioneers. We don't think our family is any different than anybody else," said Terrizzi, a 45-year-old teacher. "We've been waiting a long time for this."

The licenses issued Wednesday in Montgomery County are believed to be the first to same-sex couples in Pennsylvania, the only northeastern state without same-sex marriages or civil unions.

I am ashamed of my County and Country. My Mother is rolling over and over in her grave. THIS A CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC FOUNDED ON JUDO-CHRISTIAN principals.

The clown in charge really ticked me off yesterday with the frivolous scandal attitude yesterday. OBAMA and HOLDER LIED.
Folks died.

Those who think like this miss the point.

Grace salvation does not imply " Lawlessness " .

Of course we should have laws in our society, however ? salvation, eternal life is not bought, or earned by keeping the law or good deeds.
The holy spirit is the one who helps us to live the life God intends for us.
Whether the self righteous , those do gooders realize it or not they have sins in their lives that they do not see or admit.
God's standard of perfection goes beyond what any man or woman could have achieve by keeping the law.
What get's lost with the law salvaitoneers, or the works salvaiton people is that ? at what point ( in spite of their inherent condition called " THE FALL " ) does one achieve perfection here on earth for God to accept them ?.
Another thing that get's lost with the works salvationeers is that in spite of the fact that they love to ignore this fact, that ? year after year, decade after decade, century after century ?

In spite of trying to keep the law ?

The high priest had to required by God to bring in a spotless lamb sacrifice to atone for the nations sins.
The works salvationeers, the law salvationeers love to skirt around that fact time after time and can't give a explanation for that, can they ?
If they love to keep the law ? why then ? are there no more animal sacrifices as required by GOD ?
It's because God did away with the old system, God did away with the old covenant.
