Progress

Marriage equality has finally passed in Maryland's House of Delagates. And as to be expected, there are always non-supporters. Sam Arora, who coincidentally ran a marriage equality platform as a friendly candidate. voted against the bill. Even after taking calls from Bill Clinton, Terry McAuliffe, and their Governer! According to Democratic political consultant and former friend of Sam's, Karl Frisch,

"Discrimination against gay and lesbian couples is one step closer to being over in Maryland. The same can be said for Sam's career in politics."

It's mind boggling how somebody can help so much and then just do a complete backflip and turn against us. What would possibly bring him to just up and withdraw his co-sponsorship?


Meanwhile, in California, Proposition 8 (AKA the California Marriage Protection Act) has finally been voted unconstitutional. The accurate reasoning of the Supreme Court was that:

“Proposition 8 served no purpose, and had no effect, other than to lessen the status and human dignity of gays and lesbians in California,”
