MARRIAGE EQUALITY !

Maryland will join seven states and the District in allowing same-sex marriage, ending a year-long drama in the capitol Annapolis over the legislation and expanding nationwide momentum for gay rights.The Senate passed the measure by a vote of 25 to 22 Thursday night, and my new boyfriend,  Gov. Martin O’Malley  has vowed to sign it into law.

I have been a slack blogger the last couple of weeks, again, the weather, the whole .... ugliness of the GOP debate, but in the last month:
- Washington state legalized same sex marriage
- Maryland legalized same sex marriage
- the New Jersey legislature approved same sex marriage
- voters turned in a petition to overturn the anti

-same sex marriage amendment in Maine

 - the 9th Circuit Court affirmed the overturning of California's Prop 8

 - another judge decided that Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act was unconstitutional

Slowly and surely..... WE WILL BE CITIZENS!
