A same-sex couple is petitioning the court for the right to marry, but the court refused.
Retired teacher Nino Esposito adopted his partner Roland Drew Bosee in 2012 so they are legally father and son.
Gay news site The Advocate says 'the adoption process between gay couples was a common practice before gay marriage was legalized because adoption offered legal protections for same-sex partners when it came to matters like hospital visiting privileges and inheritance laws.
But now with marriage equality, some couples in this situation are finding it difficult to annul their adoptions so they can legally wed,' the site reports.
In Pennsylvania, Bosee and Esposito's were denied their request for an adoption annulment because the state law gave the Judge no authority to annul an adoption.
Now, barely two weeks later, fathers and sons are asking to be joined in matrimony.
