MD Marriage Equality
Feb. 17th, 2012 09:02 pmThe lower house of the Maryland legislature just approved same-sex marriage! Huzzah! Hooray!
This is a big win because last year the bill passed in the state Senate and died in the lower chamber. This year the same people are in the state Senate and most likely will approve it again next week. And *our* governor (as opposed to some states' governors -- I'm looking at YOU, New Jersey) has said he will sign the bill into law. YEAH!
I am grateful to all the folks at church who lobbied on behalf of this issue. I'll admit I have not been a terribly big activist, but I am still a supporter. I have one woman on my Facebook f-list who is married to another woman in Massachusetts, and the sky still has not fallen.
