AP Picks Up Maryland Gay Marriage Ruling



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

AP has picked up the Maryland gay marriage ruling we talked about earlier. Via Yahoo:

A Baltimore judge struck down a 33-year-old state law against gay marriage Friday, declaring it violates the Maryland Constitution's guarantee of equal rights.

Murdock ruled in favor of 19 gay men and women, rejecting a state argument that the traditional family is ideal for children.

"Although tradition and societal values are important, they cannot be given so much weight that they alone will justify a discriminatory" law, she wrote.
Makes me proud to live here in Baltimore!
