For and Against Same-Sex Marriage at Maryland’s Highest Court
ANNAPOLIS, Md., Dec. 4 (AP) - The state has no rational basis for denying same’sex couples the fundamental right to marriage, a lawyer for plaintiffs in a gay-marriage case told Maryland’s highest court on Monday.
A lawyer for the state argued that Maryland’s 1973 ban on same’sex marriage did not constitute gender discrimination because it applied equally to men and women and that the question on same’sex marriage should be decided by the legislature.
“There is no fundamental constitutional right to same’sex marriage,” said the lawyer, Robert Zarnoch, counsel to the General Assembly.
“There is no fundamental constitutional right to same’sex marriage”
As good of argument I would expect from the homophobe crowd… but begs the question: Is there a fundamental constitutional right to opposite’sex marriages?
America: a symbol of hypocrisy & injustice?
There is room at the marriage table for all of us
