House votes to erase 'homosexuality' from Pennsylvania state crimes code
HARRISBURG, Pa. - The Pennsylvania House voted unanimously on Wednesday to erase the word "homosexuality" from the definition of prohibited sexual acts in the state Crimes Code.The 198-0 vote was on a bill to clean up language that supporters said does not belong there because homosexuality is not a crime."This bill provides a long overdue update to our crimes code to ensure nobody is prosecuted because of who they love," said the sponsor, Rep. Todd Stephens, R-Montgomery.
