PA County issues same-sex marriage license
ABC News ^ | 7/24/2013 | USA Today

Posted on 07/25/2013 2:20:44 PM PDT by HawkHogan

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.

“...this was fully intentional....”

Of course it was.

And if the law doesn’t matter anymore, and some weaselly little bureacrat can just break it, then we can carry guns openly without licenses, drive as fast as want, not pay PA taxes, etc.,

I mean, hey, the law doesn’t matter anymore, right? Because the Registrar or Wills says so.

This guy needs to be bitchslapped back into his place pronto, and removed from his job.

Poor kids, this seems like child abuse.

That's because it is child abuse.

He appears to be an "internet ordained" officiant, not showing up on roster searches of some likely suspect denominations.

He's not very bright, because his website lists the types of payment excepted (that's instead of "accepted" for any LIV trolls reading this)

“Their marriage is no different than anyone else’s, except there is no penis involved.”

As most men will attest, there isn’t much penis involvement in any long term marriage.

No. He actually looks more like Kevin Youkilis.

But your post reminded me: “That Michael Jordan, he’s such a *phony*.”

It is child abuse. Those kids will grow up without a father. A woman in a butch haircut is not a father.

What, exactly, is a “same-sex” marriage?

I have seen no evidence whatsoever that a homosexual relationship is anything more than a “best friend” relationship with a physical component. I have not seen anyone present evidence that people of the same sex undergo the same changes in brain chemistry that happens when men and women pair up. Until such is scientifically established, I will not accept that homosexual friendships are the same as heterosexual bonding. Circumstantial evidence suggests that they are not.

We all know durned well that there is a father around somewhere, if these two women are raising little boys. It’s bad enough on children to be raised by an abnormal person. I hope, at least, that these little boys are given the opportunity to interact with their father(s). They probably are not, though.

"then we can carry guns openly without licenses"

In Pa, this is legal. There is no law against openly carrying a firearm, hence it is legal. The licenses are for conceal carry.

"Pottstown is a hole in the wall town no nothing town"

Is Pottstown different from Pottsville? Because Pottsville is not a no nothing town. It's home to a great beer (Yuengling). I've been to Pottsville and it's actually a nice little small town.

Actually I meant to write “and without licenses”, but it didn’t come out that way!!

Thanks, brother!

I’ve had CCW since PA went “shall issue”.

Philly cops lost their minds when they see a Citizen doing open carry...

I love our conceal carry license, $25 and no stupid self defense classes or any crap like that. The only bad thing is we need more state reciprocity agreements!!

RE State Reciprocity:

Our wonderful new subversive AG just messed with our Florida and Virginia Reciprocity. The Governor needs to step on her, and quick.

Same sex? Does this mean I can marry myself then?

Wait a sec. Is that what same sex is? I didn't know I needed a license.
