Why Maryland Gov. Signed Gay Marriage Bill

Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley explained in a Huffington Post blog why he signed his state’s same-sex marriage bill: 

“Yesterday was a day for Maryland’s children,” O’Malley wrote. “It was a day for human dignity. After years of hard work, we signed a bill into law that protects individual civil marriage rights and religious freedom equally. Yesterday, we came together as One Maryland and showed that there is more that unites us than divides us.”
