Today, Maryland Juice is publishing a guest column by Dan Furmansky:
"Cowards" is certainly a loaded word, and Maryland's First Lady got boatloads of flak for using it recently to describe some marriage equality opponents in the Maryland General Assembly. Likely, she was referring to those handful of Democratic delegates who had co-sponsored the measure last year, but then backed off after constituents weighed in with opposition. That left proponents of ending marriage discrimination in our state short of the anticipated 71 votes needed for passage in the House of Delegates. One legislator who falls into this category is Del. Melvin Stukes of Baltimore City.
