O’Malley to sign Maryland bills extending rights of same-sex relationships
“We have two bills that were passed that give equal rights when it comes to medical decision-making and equal rights when it comes to transfer tax.”
Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley speaking to WJZ about today’s pending bills.
“I think the Supreme Court in California is a great step forward and will encourage other states that they can take this step now, that there’s not just one state, Massachusetts, taking this step alone…. We know, ultimately, that fairness is going to win out in this country.”
Chales Blackburn, an ordained Unitarian Minister and member of Freedom to Marry, speaking about California’s recent court decision. (WJZ)
