Maryland Senate Leader: No Marriage Guarantee Next Year

Maryland senate president Thomas V. Mike Miller said there is no guarantee his chamber, which approved the marriage equality bill last month, would pass the measure again next year. The bill was shelved in the house last week.

According to The Washington Post, Miller said that the success of the bill in the senate galvanized previously uninvolved evangelical churches to become engaged in the house debate. The house leadership pulled the bill in a stunning move last Friday because it was short one to two votes.
