State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham Will Marry Same-Sex Couples
NOTE: It sure is nice to see some good news -- and news unrelated to Penn State, Joe Paterno or Sandusky -- coming out of State College, PA. As a young, not-yet-out gay man living in neighboring Clinton County, State College was my refuge. The town is an oasis in the midst of a cultural desert.

State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham Will Marry Same-Sex Couples[/font]
Since State College Mayor Elizabeth Goreham was elected in 2009, she hasnt been able to marry any same-sex couples because its against Pennsylvania law. While she still doesnt have the power to issue marriage licenses, she will marry same-sex couples if they have a license.
According to WJAC-TV, Goreham would have no problem conducting a same-sex wedding,
If you have a license, I will marry you, she said.
The interview comes a few weeks after the Register of Wills in Montgomery County began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Those licenses will be honored by Goreham.
