Delegate Dwyer Prefiles Marriage Protection Act
Delegate Don Dwyer of Anne Arundel County and co-sponsors
have prefiled "Maryland's Marriage Protection Act" in preparation
for the 2006 legislative session. Examiner Same Sex Marriage Defies Common Sense I and millions of others — Democrat and Republican — believe same-sex marriage is wrong. Some oppose it for social reasons. Sociologists in the Netherlands, where gay marriage was legalized more than a decade ago, tell us that same-sex marriage has significantly contributed to the decline of marriages throughout the nation. Some oppose it for historical reasons. After thousands of years of mankind experimenting with various arrangements, the one-woman, one-man marriage has proven the best, overall, at stabilizing the community, respecting women’s rights, and producing healthy offspring.
