Gilchrest Supports Gay Marriage

March 13th, 2009 by Kenneth Burns

A former Republican Congressman, the state Attorney General and a freedom fighter walk into a room…and express their support for Gay Marriage.

The former Republican congressman is Wayne Gilchrest who respresented the first congressional district in Maryland until January, having lose the Republican primary to Baltimore/Harford Senator Andy Harris (R-Dist. 7).  Gilchrest joined Attorney General Doug Gansler (D) and Travis Britt, the widow of Prince George’s County Sen. Gwendolyn t. Britt (D-Dist. 47).

Proponents tell The Baltimore Sun that the bill allowing civil unions in the state, will more than likely not pass.

They Leagize It, They Legalize It Not?

February 29th, 2008 by Kenneth Burns

Gay Marriage…or Civil Unions…or neither.

The House Judiciary Committee heard bill on allowing gay marriage…or allowing civil unions…or not allowing either.  As you know last year, the state’s highest court upheld a law defining marriage as between a man and a woman.   The committee also heard a proposal on making the three decades old law a constitutional amendment.

Truth be told, there is doubt that the law, which was endorsed by Attorney General Doug Gansler, would even have enough votes to pass muster.
