Whitewood v. Wolf - Freedom to Marry in Pennsylvania
What's at Stake
The ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û of Pennsylvania, the ÀÏ°ÄÃÅ¿ª½±½á¹û, and volunteer counsel from the law firm of Hangley Aronchick Segal Pudlin & Schiller have filed a federal lawsuit on behalf of 21 Pennsylvanians who wish to marry in Pennsylvania or want the Commonwealth to recognize their out-of-state marriages. The lawsuit alleges that Pennsylvania's Defense of Marriage Act and refusal to marry lesbian and gay couples or recognize their out-of-state marriages violates the fundamental right to marry as well as the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
