GAY TRUTH

The state of Wisconsin will not change its definition of marriage “anytime soon,” according to Republican Governor Scott Walker . Although state voters enacted a constitutional marriage protection amendment in 2006 with 59 percent of the vote, and polls show a majority of state residents do not support redefining marriage, the media asked the governor to address the issue this weekend at the National Governors Association meeting in Milwaukee.

O’Malley said Friday at a meeting for the National Governors Association in Salt Lake City . A Maryland same-sex “marriage” bill passed the State senate in February, but it failed in the House of Delegates in March.  Gov. O’Malley had promised to sign it if it been approved by the House. But now O’Malley has pledged to step up his efforts, following Gov. Cuomo’s example.  “There are times in Annapolis when a governor’s support can move an issue over the goal line,” he said. “I think we can learn from what they did [in New York],” he added. “One of the things we’re looking at in the drafting is how their clauses with regard to religious freedom were different from ours.
