ceremony on July 29, 2013 in Montgomery County
Leach, prime sponsor of a marriage equality bill and chair of the LGBT caucus, said he was honored to marry the couple.
“I am thrilled to have had the opportunity to officiate the marriage of a wonderful, loving couple this afternoon in Montgomery County,” Leach said. “Today’s ceremony proves that little by little, we are making strides toward full equality here in Pennsylvania. Each court ruling and each supportive decision made by elected officials puts another crack in the armor of discrimination. Today’s ceremony shows that love can indeed conquer all.”
Leach, a registered officiant with Universal Life Church, performed the marriage between Sarah and Marcia Martinez-Helfman, a local couple who received a marriage license from the Montgomery County Register of Wills late last week.
