Theresa Santai-Gaffney, Clerk of Orphan's Court in Schuylkill County PA filed a suit to once again deny the LGBTQ community their rights to marry. This despicable act of injustice to go over the honorable U.S. District Court Judge John Jones III's ruling to overturn the gay marriage ban in Pennsylvania shall not be tolerated. Her standing in the Schuylkill County Court House holds no just reasoning in her suit- she is simply and sadly just another misguided and inconsiderate politician attempting to mix Church and State- which we all know is illegal and against the United States Constitution. My hope in creating this petition is to raise awareness of her regrettable acts in order to stop her. We, the residents of Schuylkill County Pennsylvania must stand up against injustice! What Gaffney forgets is that WE are the ones who can vote her in and give her a paycheck just as well as we can fight against her and elect a better, forward-thinking representative. And if it weren't for the CHANGE brought on by the Woman's Rights Movement, she wouldn't even have the job that she does. Therefore, by signing this petition you agree (1)she is lawfully unjust and/or morally wrong in her attempt to revoke the rights the LGBTQ community and their Allies have waited so long for, (2) she needs to drop the suit immediately, and (3) that we, the people of Schuylkill County will NOT tolerate this hatred in our wonderful community. We must stand together to win this battle, so I implore you, please sign this petition and show her we don't agree with her unlawful, intolerant actions.


***This is optional, but if you'd like to further your show of support please feel free to call her office at (570)628-1382 and let her know we do not support her. You can also find her FaceBook page under "Theresa Santai-Gaffney" to post in LGBTQ support. All I ask is that no vulgar language, racial/religious slurs or threats be made upon her- we are better than that and can get our point across without such means. Thank you.***

I'd like to thank everyone who's signed so far and those yet to sign, together we can end all the hate and inequality in our state and be able to walk hand in hand with those we love and not be made to feel ashamed. There's NO EXCUSE for Gaffney's lawsuit, no truly loving God would deny someone the chance to be happy, infernal/elderly/adoptive couples can wed- so procreation is invalid as an argument, separation of church and state deems that denying LGBTQ couples the right to marry is unconstitutional. It's the 21st century, time to grow up, to evolve, to realize that we are at a crucial state in time where we have the power to make a better life for the generations to come! <3 You're all amazing people! Thank you for the support, our cause is just and our mission is love! <3 <3

I'm from Allegheny County and so can't sign the petition. But I agree that Santai-Gaffney's actions should qualify her for impeachment. Fortunately, as a private citizen, she has no standing in this case.

Glad to see people speaking up about this. She clearly has nothing better to do with her time then try to ruin peoples lives. Shame on her.

No matter how you feel there is no proof a person is born gay. It may be inherent, such as an attitude or behavior a person does not want to give up, but a person is not born gay. Don’t believe the rhetoric that has been passed around for forty years, and being accepted as truth. There are no genetic condition that predetermines gay behavior, there are only influences of choice. There are no biological conditions that predetermines gay behavior, there are only influences of choice. There are no hormonal conditions that predetermine gay behavior, there are only influences of choice. There are no psychological conditions that predetermine gay behavior, there are only influences of choice. There are no environment conditions that predetermine gay behavior, there are only influences of choice. The news media is bias about gay behavior don’t let them influence you! The sentence that started it all came from The American Psychiatric Association which said - “Gay behavior is a normal, natural, healthy sexual orientation.” There are no facts to back up that statement. Read it a couple of times and think about what you read. Does it sound like a statement of fact or a statement of opinion? All behaviors are influences of a choice, including gay behavior. It is a shame that the news media and Hollywood are bias about such behavior by reporting a one sided bigoted opinion. People of the news media, would you like some one you care deeply about chose to be gay based on hearsay, popular opinion or social acceptance? Such as children or grandchildren. I challenge everyone to find a condition that predetermines gay behavior. I have done 600 - 800 hours of research and study and about 15000 hours of contemplation, there is none. If you don’t believe me do some research yourself do not believe the rhetoric that has been passed around for decades. When you do the research beware of deceptive words like may, could, probably, possibly. Those words mean something very differ

I disagree with her. Marriage is about love honesty and trust not the gender
