Marriage equality bill moves to Maryland Senate floor

A Maryland Senate committee voted to send a marriage equality bill to the full Senate, which looks likely to pass the measure in the next two weeks

"Anything can happen in Annapolis, so I'm still on the edge of my seat. But the bill is in great shape right now," said Sen. Jamie B. Raskin. Maryland would join the District of Columbia and five other states as places where same-sex couples can legally marry in the U.S.
