Aaaaaaaand yes, Marylanders support same-sex marriage. If it comes to a ballot in initiative in 2012 then:
I will most definitely not be worried about my employment situation for a while.
The nation will most likely, for the first time ever, defend marriage equality in a popular vote.

Saturday: Goodbye to visitors, South Beach, and a date*.
Sunday: So, so sickly. Fever. Headache. General malaise. Fraternity chapter meeting and considerations for the...

Shouldn’t worry, yeah right.
Actually, very few Egyptians would go for a single Islamic state because they consider themselves Egyptian first. Having...
