Same-Sex Couples Can Now Obtain Marriage Licenses in Howard County
The licenses will become effective on Jan. 1, 2013.
Beginning Thursday (today), same-sex couples can get marriage licenses in Howard County. Once filed, the licenses will become effective on Jan. 1, 2013, according to the Marriage License Department of the Circuit Court for Howard County. Same-sex marriage was signed into law by Gov. Martin O'Malley on March 1 and voters upheld the law on election day by approving Question 6. After the law was upheld, there was a question as to whether same-sex couples would be able to receive a license before Jan. 1, the day the law officially goes into effect, according to the Baltimore Sun. Because marriage licenses require a 48-hour waiting period in Howard County beginning the day after a couple files, this would mean same-sex couples wouldn't be …

Report: Poll Shows Marylanders Support Same Sex Marriage
A newly released Washington Post poll shows residents favor upholding the same sex marriage law.
A Washington Post poll found that 52 percent of likely Maryland voters would uphold the state law allowing same-sex marriages, while 43 percent would vote against upholding it. If approved, the law will go into effect next year. Same-sex marriage won a narrow legislative approval earlier this year, but opponents petitioned to have a referendum placed on the November ballot—Question 6. The Post poll, which telephoned 1,106 Maryland adults, found likely voters divided on the issue by race, region and political party: In September, Gonzales Research, an Annapolis polling firm, found similar results in its poll. The firm polled 813 registered voters across the state and found that 51 percent of likely voters would support Question 6, while …

Ravens Center Writes Op-Ed Against Gay Marriage
Believes gay marriage will affect the next generation.
Matt Birk, the starting center for the Baltimore Ravens and former player for the Minnesota Vikings, wrote an op-ed published this weekend in The Minneapolis Star Tribune that detailed the reasons why he is against gay marriage. In the op-ed, he wrote, “it is important to set the record straight about what the marriage debate is all about, and to clarify that not all NFL players think redefining marriage is a good thing.” Birk may have been referring to a controversy that ensued after a Maryland legislator wrote a letter to the Ravens’ ownership to silence Brendon Ayanbadejo, a linebacker for the team, after he came out in support of gay marriage. Birk wrote that he believes both a mother and a father play a vital role in raising a child…

Ayanbadejo and Gay Marriage, Return of Football, RG3: 5 Things 9/10
A football themed five things for Monday.
1. Ravens Player in Middle of Gay Marriage Debate - Ravens LB Brendon Ayanbadejo was in the middle of a gay marriage debate last week after a Baltimore County politician, Emmett C. Burns Jr., sent a letter to the Ravens' owner demanding Ayanbadejo back off his comments advocating for gay rights. After getting word of the letter, fellow NFL player Chris Kluwe, a punter for the Minnesota Vikings, sent a profanity-laced letter to sports blog Deadspin that made a case for Ayanbadejo's right to speak out and said it was ridiculous to suppress a person's right to free speech. On Sunday, Burns backed off his position, according to the Baltimore Sun, Burns said, "Each of us has the right to speak our opinions." 2. Football is Back - The …

Unlikely Allies? Dream Act and Same-Sex Marriage Advocates Join Forces
With two months until Election Day, a new campaign is launched to win two controversial ballot initiatives.
Casa de Maryland, the state’s largest immigrant advocacy organization, and Equality Maryland, the largest LGBT rights group, have forged an alliance to convince voters to approve same-sex marriage and to allow certain college-bound illegal immigrant students to pay in-state tuition. Dubbed “Familia es Familia,” the campaign launched Tuesday in Langley Park with advocates framing same-sex marriage and the Maryland Dream Act as kindred causes grounded in a family-first sensibility. The campaign will draw its persuasive power from the personal experiences of young, LGBT immigrants. Montgomery County Councilwoman Nancy Navarro told the story of her brother Pedro, who came out to her and her sister 17 years ago, reported The Washington Blade…

Court Orders Recognition Of Out-Of-State Gay Marriages
Ruling stems from divorce case filed by a couple married in California in 2008.
Same-sex marriages legally performed out of state must be recognized by Maryland Courts, according to a decision issued Friday by Maryland’s highest court. “Maryland courts will withhold recognition of a valid foreign marriage only if that marriage is ‘repugnant’ to State public policy,” wrote Court of Appeals Judge Glenn Harrell Jr. in the 7-0 decision. The case stems from a 2010 divorce case filed in Prince Georges County. Two women, Jessica Port and Virginia Cowan, were legally married in October 2008 in California. Eight months later, the couple separated and ultimately filed for divorce in July 2010. The judge in that case ruled that recognizing “the alleged marriage would be contrary to the public policy of Maryland” and declared it …

Poll: Should Maryland Legalize Same-Sex Marriage?
O’Malley introduced legislation on Monday to make same-sex marriage legal.
Gov. Martin O’Malley introduced legislation this week that would make same-sex marriage legal in Maryland. Same-sex marriage was debated in Annapolis last year, but it ended up stalling in the House of Delegates. This year, O’Malley said “momentum is growing” for same-sex marriage in Maryland, which has endorsements this month that include labor organizations AFL-CIO and SEIU 1199. Washington, D.C., as well as six other states, have laws allowing same-sex marriage, according to the Baltimore Sun. “Other states have found a way to do this. We can find a way to do this, too,” O’Malley said during a press conference Tuesday morning, which was posted on YouTube. The Maryland Catholic Conference of Roman Catholics, as well as the Maryland …
