Going Gay

Another judge who deserves to be commended. Today Judge M. Brooke Murdock ruled that Maryland's 33-year old law against same-sex marriage violated the state constitution's guarantee of equal rights for all. She wrote, "Although tradition and societal values are important, they cannot be given so much weight that they alone will justify a discriminatory law." The ruling is expected to be overturned but it's just another small victory in the battle for the rights of GLBT people. Too many people think of them as special rights but they are not special rights, it's a recognition of love between two people of the same sex. It's always been said that love comes in all forms, so why not recognize the love between two women or two men.
