Same-Sex Marriages Begin in PA After Court Ruling; Montana Couples Challenge State Ban 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Same-sex marriages are underway in Pennsylvania following this week's
ruling overturning the state's same-sex marriage ban. Pennsylvania is
now the 19th state to recognize marriage equality and the last in the
Northeast to do so. On Wednesday, Republican Gov. Tom Corbett announced
he would not appeal the ruling that struck down the ban. Meanwhile, in
Montana four gay and lesbian couples have filed suit for the right to
marry, the latest in a series of cases that have led to marriage
equality rulings nationwide.
