Gay Marriage Comes to Maryland Gay rights supporters are delighted at the Maryland State Senate’s vote to legalize same-sex marriage, which passed 25-22 last night. The bill will definitely get signed into law by Gov. Martin O’Malley, since he’s a vocal supporter. Gay couples can start tying the knot in January 2013. But in the meantime, Maryland Republicans are promising a fight to overturn the bill via a state-wide referendum, along the lines of California’s Proposition 8. Maryland will be the eighth US state to legalize gay marriage, and the second to do so in 2012, following on from Washington.
