Philadelphia Mayor will perform Gay Weddings

Michael Nutter, the Philadelphia's Mayor, will perform same-sex weddings at City Hall on Friday.

Dozens of gay and lesbian couples in the US state of Pennsylvania rushed this week to obtain marriage licences, as a judge struck down its same-sex marriage ban.

There is a three-day waiting period for marriage there, so despite there being no defence of the ban, weddings won’t start there until Friday.

Congrats to all newlyweds!

Last year, Nutter raised a rainbow flag over the city hall
