Even though, once again, it might just be temporary…
Last Thursday, Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley signed a bill legalizing same-sex marriage, passed by the legislature the week prior, into law. However, the forces of evil were at work trying to undo the positive change even before the governor held the signing ceremony.
Governor Martin O'Malley will make Maryland the eighth state to legalize same-sex marriage when he signs a marriage equality bill today, the Baltimore Sun reports:
Gov. Martin O'Malley is set for a victory lap today when he signs into law his hard fought measure to legalize same-sex marriage. The signing is set for 5 p.m. in the State House.
There will be waiting, however:
But even with the governor's signature, same-sex couples won't get Maryland marriage certificates until the law goes into effect in January 2013 -- at the earliest.
Given the likelihood that the signature collection effort will be successful, let’s hope that the people of Maryland choose equality over bigotry.
