Same Sex Marriage Bills

Same sex marriage


Thank you for taking time out of your day to let me know your thoughts and concerns about the following bills, which are very important to me.  It is an honor to serve as your Delegate. 

I stand strong in favor of traditional marriage between a man and a woman and do not believe it should be redefined.  People have a right to live as they choose; they don’t have a right to redefine marriage for all of us.  Children of Maryland need a loving Mother and Father providing them as much balance as possible.   House Bill 438 would teach children one or the other parent is not necessary, is dispensable or un-important.  Children are confused enough with sexual messages, let’s not confuse them any further.   

This year two committees are being brought together in an attempt to avoid the possibility of the issue going to a referendum.

HB 474 - Maryland Marriage Protection Act  
Scheduled Hearing on 2/10 at 1:00 p.m. (Judiciary)

HB 438 - Civil Marriage Protection Act – Crossfiled with Senate Bill 241 

I recognize the sensitivity of this issue, respect everyone’s opinion and am available to listen to your views.  However, I was elected to make tough decisions to uphold the Constitution and the rights of my Constituents and that is what I will do.  With many other issues like the budget, people out of work and struggling to meet their basic daily needs, our focus should be directed at those issues now.
