A judge in my home state, Maryland, has ruled that a Maryland law banning gay marriage is unconstitutional.
The decision was immediately stayed until the appeals process by the Maryland attorney general’s office is complete.
Same sex couples were delighted. 19 men and woman had filed suit taking to task a 1973 law which defines marriage as between a man and woman.
The Governor of Maryland, disappointed in the ruling, says he will take all the necessary steps “to protect marriage”.
This truthout artcile also outlines the timeline of the gay marriage issue in varous states.
