From WamnOrgNews: After being narrowly defeated in 2011, the Maryland General Assembly approved same-sex marriage during its annual session earlier this year. As part of the agreement to get the bill passed, it does not take effect until Jan. 2013, after a public referendum could be held.
That referendum is on the ballot next month, and polls show Maryland voters poised to become the first in the country to give referendum approval to same-sex marriage in their state. Less than two weeks from election day, however, the matter is far from decided, at least according to Derrick McCoy, the head of the Maryland Marriage Alliance, which is the leading the fight against same-sex marriage.
