Moreover, we employ a variety of questionable tactics; we recruit children to our lifestyle, we have drug-riddled sex parties each night, and we lead a generally Godless existence. Oh, and we sacrifice small animals at the full moon and drink their blood too (but nothing that’s endangered because we’re huge fans of the job-killing EPA).

The opposition to this Marriage Equality bill continues to say truly outrageous lies and rhetoric in the name of “Christian” beliefs. I wish people would stop picking and choosing the bible verses they feel are relevant to this issue and ignoring the passages, written in the Bible, which accept many things that are not accepted in today’s society. Slavery is accepted in the Old and New Testament and adultery is punishable by death. Should we adhere to ALL of what we read in the Bible?
Marriage is a civil issue which offers protections and rights to Maryland citizens. I am a tax paying Maryland citizen in a relationship for over 22 years yet in my home state I am a legal stranger to my spouse.
During the hearing last night one person was asked “why not a civil union which would cover all the rights and protections but not call it marriage?” The response back was, “What’s wrong with sitting in the back of the bus, you’re still on the bus?” Discrimination is wrong.
