She needs to sign on as co-sponsor the day the senate session opens. If not, she needs to sign her retirement papers. She needs to get on the stick. This should be a no-brainier for her.Aside from the fact that we all believe she is a lesbian in the closet, she needs to live up to her statements of support LGBT’s and that means all the way. If she doesn’t sign on, she won’t have mine and my husband’s vote at election time this time.

Tom, It started because it’s true – sort of at least. Doug Gansler, the State Attorney General, issued an opinion in early 2010 stating that it is his interpretation of Maryland law that Maryland recognizes same-sex marriages performed in other states. As a result, for purposes of the Executive Branch of the State Government, Maryland DOES recognize same-sex marriages performed in other States. Various Maryland State agencies were supposed to provide information about how this decision would apply, but have issued little additional information. Please see a FAQ here – http://data.lambdalegal.org/publications/downloads/fs_faq-about-marriage-recognition-for-ss-couples-in-md.pdf – about the specific impact that this decision has for couples.

Maryland absolutely does NOT recognize same sex marriages performed in other states. This is a widely quoted error. I’m not sure how it started.

Congressman Harris is also a Republican from MD-01. Maryland has two Republican Members in Congress. Might want to edit this for accuracy.
