Pollock Begg Associate Morgan M. Bonekovic Explores the Future of Marriage Equality in Pennsylvania

Recent headlines about potential challenges to the U.S. Supreme Court’s Obergefell decision establishing marriage equality nationwide have stoked fears about the future for same-sex couples in Pennsylvania.

While the likelihood of the Supreme Court revisiting Obergefell was previously considered low, today’s uncertain legal climate makes it prudent to examine the framework of same-sex marriage in Pennsylvania and consider the ramifications if Obergefell were overturned.

Associate Morgan M. Bonekovic serves on the LGBTQ+ Rights Committees for both the Allegheny County and Pennsylvania Bar associations, as well as for the Pennsylvania Commission for Fairness & Justice and shared insights into marriage equality in a recent commentary in The Legal Intelligencer.

While news reports and hypothetical challenges can create anxiety, Bonekovic encourages attorneys to help clients focus on practical, proactive measures to keep their families safe, such as keeping estate and health care documents current, confirming parental rights through adoption or documentation and monitoring legal developments.
