Gay Marriage Flip-Flop Angers Supporters

WASHINGTON - He was lobbied by former President Bill Clinton and actor Kal Penn, but no one knew for sure how Maryland Delegate Sam Arora would vote on a bill to legalize gay marriage in the state until the very last minute.

Arora's decision to vote "no" has infuriated constituents and same-sex marriage supporters from across the country. It's led to an online petition calling on him to resign, and it prompted his Legislative Director, Joshua Lapidus, to quit on the spot.

Fellow Montgomery County Delegate Heather Mizeur, one of seven gay members of the Maryland House, says she has not heard from Arora since his vote.

Don't know the relevance but I was just surprised to see that many gays in the House.

I think he is a closeted gay himself.

Is anyone else totally sick of hearing about gay marriage? Is this truly the most pressing issue at this time? Why do such small percentages of the population get to monopolize everyones time and energy? Lets worry about protecting our REPUBLIC. It is the only form of government that protects INDIVIDUAL FREEDOM.
