On the high heels of Washington's fight to retain marriage equality arrives Maryland's. Within a week of the state adopting the right for its same sex couples comes a National Organization for Marriage-backed effort to repeal it, the Maryland Marriage Alliance. Details follow.
Writes NOM's head homophobe Brian Brown:
NOM is a member of the Maryland Marriage Alliance, the official committee that has already begun the effort to collect signatures to put the bill on the ballot this November. But time is short—we have just three months to collect 56,000 valid signatures needed to qualify the referendum for the statewide ballot. Over the next three months, we will be taking our message to voters from every walk of life—from college campuses to African American churches, from the Eastern Shore to Montgomery and Prince George's Counties in suburban D.C. Maryland has a reputation as having some of the most stringent signature requirements in the nation, so we will need several times the required 56,000 signatures to ensure we are not disqualified at the last minute due to signatures that are thrown out.
How long before the stock photo company that leases out the image NOM and company use to provide the illusion of support releases a statement of condemnation?
