Maryland House OKs gay marriage bill; governor likely to sign


Maryland House OKs gay marriage bill; governor likely to sign

Protesters against gay marriage

            As shown in the picture above there is a group of people that will not allow gay marriage and wish for the government to veto the bill.
In Maryland people are still pending to see if the governor will sign if they will allow gay marriage. Countries are like groups that have their own state of mind to decide either to veto the gay marriage bill. Maryland would be the eighth state that would be on the line to legalize gay marriage. Maryland got the minimum amount of votes which made it unclear to see whether the bill got passed or not.
The reason the bill is taking so long to be passed is because the people still get to have a say in the decision making. “The proposed law would not require churches and other religious organizations to perform gay marriages.” People have many opinions on this situation but why let gay marriage be allowed all they want is to be happy with their partner. Unfortunately some gay people have committed suicide because they are not accepted in this world and they are being made fun of a lot. Gay marriage should be allowed they are not harming other people in any way instead the people against them are harming them because of the cruel opinions that are being said which causes them to suicide themselves. We should not judge people because of their sexuality instead we should allow them to be happy just like we are.
