Democrat: MD Gay Marriage Recognition A 'Bucket Of Warm Spit'

[Bluebear]

An opinion by Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler that prods state agencies to recognize gay marriages performed elsewhere has come under attack by several lawmakers.

Gansler, a Democrat, concluded that Maryland's highest court is likely to decide in favor of recognizing such marriages.

The Court of Appeals “will likely apply the principle that a marriage is valid in the place of celebration is valid in Maryland,” Gansler said in a 45-page opinion released Wednesday...

A day after its release, however, several lawmakers said they would fight the ruling, and one Democratic lawmaker hit the ceiling.

“I am still stunned that he would issue such an amorphous, confusing opinion,” Delegate Emmett C. Burns Jr. told the Washington Post.

“It's a bucket of warm spit,” Burns, who is also a Baltimore County Baptist minister, added.

Delegate Don H. Dwyer Jr, an Anne Arundel County Republican, announced he would file impeachment charges against Gansler.

10. did you see

the thread about feeding the homeless in Miami? Can't do it without "training" now.

[bobbolink]

11. Didn't see it. Can you point me in the right direction?

Training may not be a bad thing. It depends on WHY, and what the goal is.

Just like you wouldn't want homophobes offering services to gay youth, we homeless folks don't need more ignorant people treating us like crap, in the name of "help". There *does* need to be a huge effort to train people in how to LISTEN, and how to serve people so they leave feeling better about themselves than when they came.

Somehow, I doubt most municipalities are that evolved yet to recognize that, but that is the NEED.

13. Thankyou! I suspected it wasn't, but..........wanted to give my opinion anyway.

Actually, if it had been magnanimous, I would have fainted dead away.

HEY! That's how to kill me off!!! :rofl:
