Same-sex marriage is still a topic being debated in Pennsylvania.
More voters (47 percent) support same-sex marriage than oppose it (43 percent), according to a January Quinnipiac University poll, but the margin is still small.
The numbers were even closer among men polled, with 44 percent supporting and 46 opposing same-sex marriage. Women were less split with 50 percent supporting same-sex unions and 40 percent opposing them.
When the voters polled were split by religion, 50 percent of white Catholics support same-sex unions with 40 percent oppose them. White Protestants were less accepting with 31 percent in support of same-sex unions and 60 percent opposing them.
Of the Republicans polled, 23 percent support it, while 67 percent oppose them, which is almost flipped by the Democrats polled; 65 percent support same-sex unions and 27 percent oppose them.
Younger voters polled with more education and higher incomes were more likely to be in support of same-sex marriage than their counterparts.
“We can see from the results of this poll that Pennsylvanians are growing more and more supportive of marriage equality, especially in the younger age bracket,” said state Sen. Daylin Leach (D-Montgomery/Delaware) in a news release. “While these results are heartening, our work is far from over. We must work together to encourage further progress and to make marriage equality legal in our Commonwealth.”
Leach has introduced a marriage equality bill during the last three consecutive legislative sessions. He noted that he plans to reintroduce the bill this year.

-read the bible -have intelligent discussion not possible
Then, I'd like you to explain why you defend rich republicans, considering Jesus said that it is impossible for a rich man to go heaven, gave blessings to the poor and woe to the rich, and even his own mother's song in Luke makes it clear that we will know Christ for what he is when the poor are sent away filled, and the rich are sent away empty? Of course, expecting a satanic America worshipper like you to actually pick up your Bible and live accordingly is a bit much. Let's be clear, you are not a Christian. You are an American nationalist who will always put your political ideology above the callings of the Gospel.
Do you understand my point now? People need to stop deciding what is right or wrong between 2 consenting adults. Actually, I don't even care if it is more than 2 adults, the important words to notice are ADULT and CONSENTING. Oh and by the way I wouldn't judge your life. I don't walk in your shoes, so how am I to know how you feel or why you do what you do
Ego, upon what do you base your belief that children should be protected? Upon what do you base your belief that "choice" is the ultimate moral imperative? Upon what do you base your concept of what is a "right"? I base mine on the idea that there is a standard of unyielding moral truth. The same one that the founding fathers of our country based their ideas on, that there are inherent rights and standards granted by God. Please go back and reread the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution. This amazing country we live in was founded on the freedom of religion because our forefathers were escaping religious persecution
I would also amend your description to "an unnatural act of love".
