Thursaday, October 18th, 2012, Jon Walker wrote an article on marriage equality in Maryland. This year same sex marriage is going to be on many states' ballots.Washington state who had a preliminary poll with 55 percent states yes to same sex marriage and only 40 percent say no. And also Maine was mentioned in the article 52% yes and 44% said no Jon writes about how Washington Post asks people "Q: (AMONG LIKELY VOTERS) As you may know, Question 6 on the state ballot is the ‘Civil Marriage Protection Act’. If the election were held today, would you vote yes or no on Question 6? Yes 52% No 43% No opinion 5%." Jon then goes on to say though the prelimanary poll is in the favor of same-sex marriage it means nothing, other polls have been suggested to lose and in the actual time of vote they win!
Though, the article is not very detailed the writer seems unbias on the topic which is very professional. I am however, going to go a little more into the gut of the topic. I think it is a great step for our country that same sex marriage is now becoming a semi acceptable topic. The topic reminds me of President Wilson's term when he discusses womens right to vote. He refused to support a bill for womens right to vote and claimed it was a state matter not a federal one. I saw a photo once that said what would happen if same sex people were to marry...it was a pie chart and the whole chart was blue and below it said blue- gay people will be married, grey- a third world war would break out, pink- we would have an eruption of plagues...but the graph was all blue so truth is would anything change? More and more states are adding same sex marriage to the ballots this year. Including, . If the same question showed up on your ballot what would you check yay, ne, or no say?
