Just another reason for me to hate my state. I heard about this on a local radio station yesterday and they said that two of the people who had been fighting this for a long time just happened to "change their minds". Gov. O'Mally probably helped them do that with just the right amount of money. Can't wait to move to Texas!
Many people who were against same-sex marriage for a long time have changed their minds. Its why support for it has jumped from the high 30's eight years ago to into the 50's now. Treating people as equals makes you hate your state, how sad.
^^ You also have to take into account the younger generation and young adults. My generation just doesn't give a f*ck about homosexuality. We're just waiting waiting for control.

Folks grow up. Many of those who are against it are baby boomers who were also very liberal in their youth.

We'll see how popular it is in New Jersey and Maryland in November. See you in November Dems.
One of the good things about Maryland ios that we have a tool to curb the over reach of radical Dems. Any recently passed law can be suspended if enough people sign a petition. It then moves to a referendum in the next election.
This law will never see the light of day. In fact the deciding votes voted yes for that very reason. See you in November Dims!
Oh yes it will my friend be us because thanks to prop 8 case law now exists to argue against it .

Exactly. O'Malley himself was not supportive of this just last year. Then his suspected rival in NY rammed this through and became a liberal darling. All of a sudden this became a must pass in Maryland.
No big deal though the residents of Maryland will have their voices heard in Maryland. Maryland is 30% Black, 9% Hispanic and 6% Asian. Not to mention outside of Montgomery County most of the white population is moderate to conservative this abomination will never see the light of day.
Since the republican turnout will likely be low, I guess we will won't we?
Actually laws like this drives conservatives out in droves it also converts a few staunch Black Dems to the GOP. In a close election that can spell the difference.
That's how Bush got re-elected in 2004.
