Gov. Martin O'Malley said Friday he will push harder for a same-sex marriage measure in Maryland next year if it mirrors legislation that passed in New York after changes were made to protect religious freedom.
"I think we can learn from what they did," O'Malley, a Democrat, said while attending the National Governors Association meeting in Salt Lake City. "One of the things we're looking at in the drafting is how their clauses with regard to religious freedom were different from ours. That might improve our efforts. And I certainly plan to be very active in support of it, and we'll have other announcements in upcoming months."
O'Malley said he is talking with a broad coalition that has formed around the issue.
Gay marriage legislation passed the Maryland Senate this year but stalled in the House of Delegates. The House sent the bill back to committee after it was determined it was a few votes short.
The democratic cowards wouldn't even bring it to a vote in the House of Delegates. Grow a pair, Democrats!
ReplyDeleteO'Malley is willing to go against his Catholic Church position and back same-sex marriage?
ReplyDeleteO'Malley is a politician with higher hopes beyond Maryland. He'll do just about anything to accumulate points for a bid as VP on the 2012 Obama ticket! Even against his professed spiritual beliefs!
