| Description | The House State Government Committee on Tuesday abruptly delayed its vote on a measure that would establish an amendment to the Pennsylvania Constitution, redefining marriage as “the legal union of only one man and one woman.”
HB 1434, known as the “Marriage Protection” amendment, has been target of intense criticism from LGBT advocates across the state and nationally in a campaign launched by Equality Pennsylvania.
State Rep. Daryl Metcalfe (R-Butler County), who currently serves as the committee’s chair, came under withering criticism from former committee chair, Rep. Babette Josephs (D-Philadelphia). |
