Election 2012: Maryland's Same-Sex Marriage Referendum
http://thekojonnamdishow.org/shows/2012-10-22/election-2012-marylands-same-sex-marriage-referendum
Maryland voters could become the first in the nation to approve same-sex marriage at the Nov. 6 ballot. Lawmakers in six states and the District of Columbia have legalized same-sex marriage, but none of them put the issue before the voters. Kojo explores the campaigns for and against Maryland's Question 6, and looks at how similar measures elsewhere and a possible Supreme Court decision could affect same-sex marriage across the United States.

Derek McCoy was completely disingenuous when he tried to say that Dan Cathy of Chick-Fil-A's stores were being protested against because of something he said. The issue with not what he said, it was donations to hate groups like the Family Research Council and the American Family Association who have an active and vindictive anti-gay platorm. Hate speech, which coincidentally, is also, is clearly visible on the Maryland Marriage Alliance's Facebook page.
