Maryland voters’ support for same-sex marriage slips

CAPITOL HEIGHTS, Md. (Tribune Washington Bureau) — Maryland, which just a month ago appeared poised to become the first state in the country to back gay marriage by popular vote, is now reported to be deadlocked on the issue, in part because of a drop in support from religious blacks.
Only a few weeks ago, polls were suggesting that Marylanders were leaning toward supporting gay marriage, but as November approached, the numbers tightened.
The change appears to be partly driven by black pastors in Maryland urging their congregations to vote against the measure.

2:10 seperation of church and state does not mean the church doesn't have an opinion on social issues effecting their congregation. Freedom of religion simply means our government can't mandate what religion to practice.

I believe in same sex marriage. I've been married to the same woman for 45 years and it's been the same sex year, after year, after year.
