Md Gay Marriage Foes Vow To Scuttle Bill

(Annapolis, Maryland) Opponents of legislation that would allow same-sex couples to marry say they will do all it takes to kill the bill.

Within hours of the introduction of the measure conservative groups had mustered about 1,000 people for a demonstration in front of the State House.

Most of the speakers were from area churches, demanding an amendment to the state constitution to bar gay and lesbian couples from tying the knot.

"This gathering is an expression of the desire of the Christian community in Maryland," said Rev. Harry Jackson Jr., one of the organizers.

2. And that's a BS answer, too

When you know how the states will vote. You're still safe.
