Support Gay Rights

Unfortunately, Pennsylvania is one of the states that has a law specifically banning gay marriage. No matter where you marry, Pennsylvania will not recognize a same-sex marriage.
According to the Human Rights Campaign, Pennsylvania law states: “It is hereby declared to be the strong and longstanding public policy of this commonwealth that marriage shall be between one man and one woman. A marriage between person of the same sex which was entered into in another state or foreign jurisdiction, even if valid where entered into, shall be void in this commonwealth.”
Even though you and your partner will not receive the legal benefits of marriage in Pennsylvania, does not mean the two of you cannot have a ceremony of your own. For years, gay and lesbian couples have been planning meaningful weddings and commitment ceremonies. The law may not recognize it, but it is still powerful to stand up and state your commitment to one another before your family and friends.

I would like to interview/talk to gay couples and get their point of view on the unfair treatment gays receive when it come to gay marriage. I want to make a small book of the stories I record and read them to a group of peers and others who are concerned. The gay community are the main ones who attract the most STD's such as AIDS/HIV, so I want to see how they feel about laws prohibiting them to be together legally and how this affects their social lifestyle.
