ANNAPOLIS, MD (February 17, 2012) – Governor Martin O’Malley today released the following statement after the House of Delegates passed the Civil Marriage Protection Act of 2012:
“Today, the House of Delegates voted for human dignity. Speaker Busch and his fellow Delegates deserve a lot of credit for their hard work. At its heart, their vote was a vote for Maryland’s children.
“There is still work to be done and marriage equality has not yet been achieved in Maryland. Wherever we happen to stand on the marriage equality issue, we can agree that all our children deserve the opportunity to live in a loving, caring, committed, and stable home, protected equally under the law.
“Clergy and faith-based leaders, community leaders, civic organizations, civil rights groups, and citizens from across our State have reached the same conclusion that Americans in seven other states have reached – it is possible to protect individual civil marriage rights and religious freedom equally.
“Now, as the Senate prepares to vote, all of us are needed - and we’re prepared to redouble our efforts. The common thread running through our efforts together in Maryland is the thread of human dignity; the dignity of work, the dignity of faith, the dignity of family, the dignity of every individual. Love is an unalienable right.”

That's it, I'm moving. Out of here. Taxes and degradation of our morals has chased me out. I can't afford it, but it's gotta be done.
ReplyDeletedoes this give you a clue about o Malley
ReplyDeleteA victory for human dignity? What a bunch of crap. So, if I'am in Wall Mart with my children and two men are kissing, or playing with each others crotch, that's human dignity? People of faith or common sense, or just tired of this political correct bullshit, we must vote these liberals out of office. Even Norm Conway must go. Lets clean house next election.
ReplyDeleteVoting will do no good.
ReplyDelete6:15 that wouldn't be appropriate in any public setting if it were a heterosexual couple either, not a very good argument
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for the children that are intentionally brought into and raised by a gay couple...how do explain that you bought or were donated sperm/eggs to create the child? Do they teach their kids to be gay or to be hetero...and which one is "normal"? Or do they encorage them to find out on their own? No wonder we need govt. paid birth control. Must be a very confusing environment for the child, unless gays WANT their kids to grow up gay too. OMalley says its a win for the children but I'm not so sure.
ReplyDeleteHow in the world can mr wonderfullofhimself say this was a vote for Maryland's children?Is he that dillusional?He makes me want to vomit.
ReplyDelete11:23 Yeah but it is worse with homosexuals. I don't want to have to explain that perversion to my kids or have it imprinted on their developing little brains.
