Interesting Same-Sex Marriage Testimony
People are attending hearings in Annapolis both for and against the proposal to legalize same-sex marriage in Maryland. The reason I'm posting this up is because of one specific person's testimony that surprised me. I'll post the quote below without further comment:
[A] gay man from Potomac asked the committee to defeat the bill, saying the proposal by Gov. Martin O’Malley would undermine one of society’s most basic principles, that marriage is between a man and a woman.
“I’m gay and I’m opposed to this legislation,” said Doug Mainwaring, a divorced father of two who works for the National Capital Tea Party Patriots.
“I totally believe in civil unions, but I would like to see marriage preserved for one man and one woman. Marriage is the building block of our civilization,” he said.
Thoughts?
