Maryland Green Party Joins Marylanders for Marriage Equality Coalition, Urges Support for Question 6 This November

The Maryland Green Party has joined Marylanders for Marriage Equality, a coalition of organizations working to defend marriage equality during this year's general election. The Green Party urges all Marylanders to vote in support of Question 6 this November 6th, to uphold the Civil Marriage Protection Act.

"The Green Party has unequivocally supported marriage equality since its recognition by the State Board of Elections in 2000," said Karen Jennings, former Green Party candidate for Annapolis City Council and Volunteer Coordinator for the Chesapeake Pride Festival. "Greens have testified in Annapolis on behalf of the Civil Marriage Protection Act. Our past candidates for Governor, U.S. House and U.S. Senate have frequently reiterated their support for state and federal protections for all marriages, regardless of the gender of the persons involved."

The Green Party has a lengthy history of support for marriage equality and the LGBT community. Read more here...
