A panel of state senators voted Thursday in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage in the state, and the measure appears to have enough votes to pass a a final Senate vote.
The Senate Judicial Proceedings approved the legislation 7-4 and added a clause designed to protect religious groups from having to perform gay marriage ceremonies or provide services for them.
"We've got all the momentum now," said Sen. Jamie Raskin, D-Montgomery, one of the bill's sponsors.
More than that, they've got the 24th vote -- the one they needed to secure passage.
