CASA of Maryland’s advocacy for next month's referendum on same-sex marriage has sparked the ire of religious leaders
Polls say one thing, but religious leaders say another on the question of whether Hispanic-Americans in Maryland will support same-sex marriage in next month's landmark referendum. National and statewide polling of Latinos has shown a steady turn in favor of same-sex marriage. The Pew Research Center published a poll last week that shows “rapidly growing support” for gay marriage among Hispanics nationwide, with 52 percent for and 34 percent against. It is the first time that a Pew poll showed a majority of Latinos in favor of same-sex marriage. That support divides along religious lines. An April poll commissioned by the National Council of La Raza found that 79 percent of atheist or agnostic Latinos support same-sex marriage, 67 …

Matt Rider said in part: "The Director of CASA de Maryland and a Latina student spoke in support of both Questions. Clearly people recognize that denying equal access to education and equal access to marital rights are both just plain wrong." Did Mr. Torres and the Latina student say anything about being law abiding? Did anyone speak against the two proposals? Did a White student speak? Did an … more ›

The company has received major backlash after its president made anti-gay marriage remarks in several interviews.
Everyone’s favorite childhood puppets are taking a stand for gay marriage. The Jim Henson Company—creator of the Muppets—announced recently that it would no longer do business with Chick-Fil-A following recent anti-gay marriage comments made by the popular chicken company’s president, Dan Cathy. “The Jim Henson Company has celebrated and embraced diversity and inclusiveness for over fifty years and we have notified Chick-Fil-A that we do not wish to partner with them on any future endeavors,” the organization, whose namesake grew up in University Park and attended University of Maryland, wrote on its Facebook page. “Lisa Henson, our CEO is personally a strong supporter of gay marriage and has directed us to donate the payment we received…

Not defensive Frank. Just tired of snarky comments by individuals who think they are superior because they know how to use a dictionary. Anyone who read my comment would understand the typo. Only you pointed it out. And Beth,the examples you cite regarding Muslims,Mormons, etc. were still between the opposite sex. I also doubt that the arranged marriages that you speak of were between the same … more ›
Del. Heather Mizeur helped push through gay marriage legislation in Maryland this year.
Gay rights advocates were dealt a win Tuesday when President Barack Obama endorsed same sex marriage. Takoma Park resident Del. Heather Mizeur (D-Dist. 20), who has long been vocal about gay marriage rights and who helped shepherd the state's Marriage Equality Act to approval this past legislative session, applauded Obama for making the commitment. "Our president put into words what thousands of LGBT couples already know: that marriage equality is about the power of love and commitment overcoming the forces of fear; that every committed couple should be treated equally under the law; and that every family should be able to protect their children," Mizeur wrote to supporters in an email. With the signature of Gov. Martin O'Malley, Maryland …

Your post is a little confusing. To what, exactly, are you reffering when you say that people who engage in homosexual behavior need to start to take resposibility for their choices? Seems to me that getting married would be a big step in taking responsibility. Responsibility for your partner, for your children. more ›
Maryland representatives gear up to discuss gay marriage for the 2012 legislation session.
By Jessica Talson, Capital News Service The contentious legislative battle over same-sex marriage ended only a few months ago, but opponents and advocates have already started preparing to fight for their cause in the 2012 legislative session. Gov. Martin O'Malley has stepped out from the behind-the-scenes role he played during the 2011 legislative session and has promised to sponsor a bill legalizing same-sex marriage. O'Malley has already spent time with advocacy groups and spoke at a fundraiser for Equality Maryland. "The governor and the advocacy groups have formed a much stronger partnership this year," said Raquel Guillory, a spokeswoman for O'Malley. "We're organizing a much stronger effort this year and we're getting ahead of it …
