Following in the foot steps of Montgomery County Register-of-Wills-turned-gay-hero D. Bruce Hanes, Braddock Mayor John Fetterman performed Allegheny County’s very first same-sex marriage last night. The happy couple? John Kandray and Bill Gray, who have been together for 11 years. More from CBS Pittsburgh:
