Maryland Lt. Gov. Anthony G Brown (D) speaks out forcefully for same-sex marriage in an interview posted Thursday on the Web site of the Washington Blade.
“I have always believed that all Marylanders should have an equality of rights and responsibilities, and that includes marriage equality,” Brown told the publication, which focuses on issues affecting gay and lesbian people. “So regardless of gender, we should be able to choose who it is that we are going to marry and hopefully spend the rest of our lives with. And so I’m supportive of that.”
Brown’s comments put him out front of his boss, Gov. Martin O’Malley (D), who has said he would sign a same-sex marriage bill but prefers civil unions. O’Malley made no mention of the issue during his State of the State address on Thursday.
