Hey, does this mean that Harry Jackson will go home to Maryland and re-register to vote there so he can oppose this? He won’t even have to rent an apartment or buy a condo to pretend he lives there, as he’s doing now in the District.

The LGBT community in Maryland really needs to rund candidates against the anti-gay Democrats who sit on key committees and replace them with pro-LGBT Democrats. The Republicans, (Like Delegate Dwyer) are almost always against us, but really, its a handfull of homophobic Democrats on these committees that are keeping Maryland from recognizing and allowing same-sex marriage.

Since I am not a lawyer nor particularly well versed in the law, I have to ask for some help. If a man and woman get married in Massachusetts, or the Netherlands or Spain, I believe that the state of Maryland and all other states and the District recognize those marriages as valid. If two men or two women marry in a jurisdiction that recognizes such marriages, what legal basis is there for a state to refuse recognition.

Currently I would assume that it would be under DOMA, but in the case of Maryland, I don’t think they have passed a marriage law that only permits heterosexual marriages.

Will someone impeach Dwyer. Every time someone goes against what he “believes” he wants to impeach them.
