Marriage in Maryland
AP:

BALTIMORE—A judge on Friday struck down a 33-year-old Maryland law against same-sex marriage, agreeing with 19 gay men and women that it violates the state constitution's guarantee of equal rights.

"Although tradition and societal values are important, they cannot be given so much weight that they alone will justify a discriminatory statutory classification," Judge M. Brooke Murdock wrote.
Oh how we danced and we swallowed the nights for it was all ripe for dreaming
Oh how we danced away all of the lights we've always been out of our minds

Re: Marriage in Maryland
I don't see a ban on gay marriage as violating equal rights. A gay man/woman has every single right that a straight man/woman has in terms of who they can marry.

I'm starting to like Maryland more and more these days. First bullying Wal-Mart and now upholding equal rights for all.

They had equal rights before, what they are doing now is making exceptions for a behavior and twisting their own constitution (while overruling a law that was enacted by their own people) to do it.

I think Brian means that straight men have the right to marry women, just like gay men have the right to marry women; i.e. equal rights = no discrimination.
