15 States File Amicus Brief in Support of Marriage, Where is PA?

Recently fifteen states filed an amicus brief  in support of the federal Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA)  asking the US Supreme Court to review the decision handed down by the First Circuit Court of Appeals which overturned DOMA.  Pennsylvania was not one of those states!  For more information click here.

The AFA of PA has contacted the PA Attorney General’s office expressing concern that Attorney General Linda Kelly’s name did not appear on that brief.

Action Steps
