BALTIMORE -- A Circuit Court judge yesterday ruled that Maryland's 33-year-old ban on same-sex "marriage" is unconstitutional.
- snip -
"After much study and serious reflection, this court holds that Maryland's statutory prohibition against same-sex marriage cannot withstand this constitutional challenge," Judge Murdock said in her 22-page ruling. The law defining marriage as a union of a man and a woman violates the state constitution's Equal Rights Amendment, which guarantees "equality of rights under the law shall not be abridged or denied because of sex," the judge said.

Your transparent attempt to pretend that homosexuals raising children and homosexual marriage [sic] have nothing to do with each other is just that - transparent.
Please explain how your support of judicial fiat shoving "gay" marriage down the peoples' throats against their will is freedom.
This is from bigsigh/breakem's profile page:
"If you really must know, I value freedom, pursuit of happeness, and small government."
Funny how he says he is for small government yet wants a big nanny state government to force the homosexual agenda on an unwilling citizenry.
He wasn't calling for the end of debate, but for the ejection of a left wing homo activist troll... not that I necessarily agree in totality with him, but you are scum...
You are proven wrong as a matter of law and biology... but still you lie...
You keep saying someone is shoving something down your throat. I'm sorry for your weakness. You really need to keep your mouth shut and that won't happen. When someone gets married they are not shoving anything down your throat. THEY are getting married and it's none of your business.
You can keep referring to the agenda all you want. It's not what I'm supporting. Perhaps you'll read my previous post. I'm quite capable of explaing what I support regardless of your propaganda tatics and ignoring what I've told you repeatedly.
I was a conservative before you were born and I don't surrender the definition to some one like you who has an agenda to deny the rights of others.
The granting of rights is not big government. It is the reduction of governmental control and the advocacy of liberty. You have a very convoluted view of the role of government: to enforce your sexual and religious virews upon others.
I see his leftist partner in crime Paul.CJesup decided to plead the fifth..LMAO
I form my position on my values not on who agrees and disagrees with them. I suppose if Susan Sarandon supported Bush on Iraq, you'd oppose him. Try thinking for yourself.
We can believe you or our lying eyes. LOL! When the sun is up is it light out? Not if dash says that it isn't and posts the appropriate quote from some dead Greeks.
There has never been, in this country or any other, the right of one man to marry another man or a woman to marry another woman. Homosexual activists and their supporters (people with twisted morality like yourself) are trying to - now listen carefully - CHANGE THE EXISTING LAW AND MORAL ORDER.
You are trying to revolutionize and change the very meaning of "family" and "marriage". Why? So that people who are psychologically and mentally ill can play house and pretend that having sodomy with someone of the same sex is the same as marriage. To the detriment of themselves, society and who knows how many children.
The only way any "gay" rights have made inroads is through judicial acitivism and some wayward legislatures, but primarily through rogue power mad judges.
If you are in favor of small goverment, you would be in favor of different localities allowing or prohibiting homosexuals from getting married. To each his own, right? But no, you want the homosexual agenda to trump the desires and viewpoints of the vast majority of the population. Not exactly "freedom" in my book.
You just don't get it, do you? You don't belong here spouting humanist manifesto talking points, carrying water for the DNC in support of a perversion that is eating away the soul of this nation, and calling it "conservatism."
Closing report.
What have we learned:
People will say you have a twisted morality because you support individual liberty.
Homosexuals can't have babies.
People who support gay marruage support NAMBLA (The extreme homosexual agenda).
When in doubt, call the mod, call your posse, attack, but don't support basic amercian values.
I've had enough ladies and gentlemen. Play with each other for awhile.
Are you out of your cotton picking mind? You are saying that small government means that 2% of the population and their enforcers such as yourself should force the majority of the population to accept homosexual marriage against their will.
You want the very definition and meaning of marriage and family to change to "free for all sodomy". And the only way that can happen is by judicial activism and power mad government.
And you're the small government fellow who loves freedom?
Buh Bye! Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
BTW, a lot more homosexuals support NAMBLA than heterosexuals - what part of Man Boy do you not get?
No one is forcing you to accept anything. Don't accept it. The question is why is it prohibited by law. You don't understand the basic meaning of freedom do you. Now good-bye maybe the mod will come along and make you feel better about us evil doers.
Why don't you do us and you a favor and stay away permanently. You don't belong here.
I knew you'd play the child molest card. Last refuge of a scoundrel. Pathetic. And you call yourself moral. Your continuing mischaracterization of my position is immoral because you know it to be a lie.
That's obvious. Look at the company one keeps to be on this thread. Now come tuck me in!
How predictable. Shine the light of truth and the perversion advocates slink back into the darkness where they belong. Good riddance. Now run over to Clownposse.org and flap your gums with the rest of your disgruntled banned libertarian ex-freeper trolls.
