BALTIMORE (WJZ) — Last week’s Senate approval of the state’s same-sex marriage bill marked another victory for supporters. But the campaign to give the last say to voters is underway.
As Gigi Barnett reports, churches may be at the center of the fray.
Maryland’s same-sex marriage bill has passed two major hurdles–the House and Senate.
Now it’s primmed for the Governor’s signature. But after that–the battle to get the issue in front of voters is already underway. And churches may be at the forefront of the campaign.
“The word marriage is what we’re all not liking,” said Phyllis Walstrum.
Many members at St. Alphonsus Shrine in Baltimore are against the same-sex marriage bill. Parishioners like Phyllis Walstrom and Alice Charnasky aren’t against equal rights, but they believe that only traditional unions should be called “marriage.” And they fear most voters don’t see it that way.

You can get married on the beach by a clerk it is still called marriage. Churches do not own the word.
I was so tired of gays forcing their lifestyle on the rest of the country so I fired three gays that worked for me today.

67:29, Maybe you should so you can't serve your customers tomorrow!
