Opponents vow renewed fight in full chamber
After days of uncertainty and closed-door meetings, a House committee was able to cobble together enough support yesterday to approve a bill legalizing gay marriage in Maryland and move it to the full chamber.
The House Judiciary Committee voted 12-10 in favor of the bill, which supporters believe is the next step in civil rights.
Opponents of the legislation said the committee vote would lead to a new round of lobbying to defeat the measure on the House floor.
"The churches are ready," said Del. Don Dwyer, D-Glen Burnie, a member of the committee and staunch opponent of same-sex marriage. "The public is clearly objecting to this issue."

Glad I dont live in Maryland, home of liberal idiots. Maybe Rehobeth and Salisbury can be one place.
Yea, no more rest stop arrests...
9:58 I am too glad that you don't live in Maryland
I guess this is plus for you huh Alex?
The politicians have been bought off, Let the voters decide!
He can finally come out of the closet, get free benefits from his significant other... More stress on the health care system.
Everyone pays in the End! LOL!
If I could turn hate into gold....this is a rich area.
"They" say ignorance is bliss. I guess "They" all live on the Eastern Shore! "Ya'll" do know that inbreeding is illegal and looked down on? oh "ya'll" don't know that? I guess that's why there are only four last names in the local phone book!
Wow how mature.
Yeah it is a plus for me knowing that I live in the state that slowly but surely rids itself of bigatry. Hopefully, it will reach your area as well.

Jump off the high horse. If you don't like the Eastern Shore MOVE. I chose to come here I did not grow up here. I would take the Eastern Shore over the "Western Shore" any day of the week. You can have your liberal ways, traffic and pay to much for everything you buy. If you live across the bridge stay there, if you don't move back there. Do they not have blogs on that side of the bridge. Seems we have a few that just like to come on here and bash the ES. Get over yourself.
ES is great, that is why it has changed, cause too many liberals moved here to make money off of greedy politicians like they do eventually in every state.
Its all about the money and lawyers, liberals and greed make it all the time.
As far as Gays go, well you will pay for your life mistakes in the end. Why take it out on churches because you know what your choice in life is wrong so you attack good moral people?
I really wish you well, but do not force being Gay on me and rest of the world. Gay pride all for it, think its good to be proud of who you are, just dont try to shove it on me. Again, persecution has been a part of being a Christian so go ahead, churches can take it. In the end when you see what happens you'll then say oops... Read and open mind to bible before you bash the church. Not to late to learn and change...
9:10 I don't live in a theocracy.
You live in a Country that was designed built on it. Then liberals took over and we are sooo, much better off now aren't we?
Jaycee said...something stupid.
Were you looking for your relatives in that local phone book?
Just look on the bathroom wall, you'll find their numbers.
Little jerks like you put down the shore but you just can't keep your sorry butt from stepping on our soil.
Take your hypocritical sleaze back to that rock you crawled from under. We don't need your kind and we don't want your kind here.
Y'all just leave us ignorant people alone. After you read this, go and try to find the instruction manual for human beings.
You obviously can't figure it out on your own.

Too glad? lol. You try and insult someone and you look like the fool.
Good job.

You tell him. You're way more mature than he is. Word of advice, when you try to insult someone, make sure your spelling is correct or you just look like a fool.

How do you know? You obviously don't know what one is if you're going to compare that guys statement to one.
