Same Sex Marriage Legislation Still Has Hurdles

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- A Maryland Senator said his chamber could take a final vote on legislation to legalize gay marriage later this week.

Sen. Brian Frosh said the Judicial Proceedings Committee is expected to vote Tuesday on a bill passed by the House of Delegates last week that would allow same sex couples to marry.

Frosh, a Montgomery County Democrat, expects the bill to pass out of his committee and said amendments to the bill are unlikely to gain traction.

The House cleared a long-standing hurdle to same-sex unions Friday, passing the legislation by just one more vote than required, 72 to 67.

    As much as I dislike the idea of homosexuality, I dislike the idea and influence of big government even more. Marriage reflects a personal relationship between two people. A union sanctioned by our creator - or nature if you will. Government has no role in this. Federal, state, or otherwise. How far will we to permit government to intrude into our lives? How much more intrusive can we get? My position is that intrusion into our personal relationships is much, much further than should ever be permitted. This isn't a mattter that should even be open to the approval of our government.

    8:18 I to don't care for the intrusion of big government into our lives. But when you say a union sanctioned by our creator, well I don't know what Bible you are reading!
