ADL APPLAUDS COURT DECISION IN SUPPORT OF MARRIAGE EQUALITY
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) welcomed today’s court decision overturning Pennsylvania’s Defense of Marriage Act calling it, “A major step forward in the quest for equal rights for all.” A federal judge held that the ban unconstitutionally denies Pennsylvania’s same-sex couples the fundamental freedom to marry. The order directs the commonwealth to allow same-sex couples to marry and to recognize valid out-of-state marriages.
