Civil Marriage is a Civil Right

  1. Welcome to Marylanders for Marriage Equality

    In Maryland, we are coming closer to achieving marriage equality for same-sex couples. But we need your help to pass the Religious and Civil Marriage Protection Act that would extend the freedom to marry to same-sex couples. Please sign the Marylanders For Marriage petition and be a part of this historic civil rights battle. Gay, straight, married, single, old and young… we need everyone who believes in ending discrimination against same-sex couples to stand up NOW!

    TAKE ACTION: Support The Religious Freedom and Civil Marriage Protection Act!

Bernice’s Story

Bernice Melov and her son

“As the proud 88-year-old mother of a gay son, I couldn’t wait to get this yard sign. Now I can let everyone know that thousands of Marylanders like my son and his partner of 32 years deserve to have the right to marry the person they love. It’s a matter of common decency, equality, fairness, human dignity, and justice.”
