HARRISBURG, Pa. — Pennsylvania’s governor ended his fight Wednesday to stop same-sex marriage in the state, allowing an increasing number of couples to proceed with their wedding plans with greater peace of mind.
A federal judge on Tuesday struck down the state’s same-sex marriage ban, and Gov. Tom Corbett said Wednesday that he would halt his court fight because “the case is extremely unlikely to succeed on appeal.”
The governor’s decision means that same-sex marriage will remain legal in Pennsylvania, without the threat that a higher court will reinstate the ban.
