By Sarah Breitenbach
ANNAPOLIS, Md.—Gov. Martin O'Malley will make Maryland the eighth state to
legalize gay marriage when he signs a bill passed by the General Assembly.
O'Malley is expected to sign the legislation, which he sponsored, Thursday,
though same-sex ceremonies cannot be performed until January 2013.
Gay marriage supporters assume they'll have another hurdle to jump as the
law is expected to be petitioned to referendum in November.
Gay marriage opponents are prepared to collect the nearly 56,000 signatures
needed to put the measure on the ballot and are expected to rely heavily on
churchgoers who oppose same-sex marriage as a matter of faith, to reach that
goal.
Organizers say they hope to collect nearly double the required number of
signatures to ensure enough are validated by the state elections board. | t*******e
