Greg Rothman, organizer of last weekend's JCPenney flash mob "buycott" in NYC

Maryland House of Delegates passes marriage equality!

Good news,indeed. Maryland, my former home state, is one step away from passing marriage equality. All that needs to happen is that the bill is signed by the Democratic governor of Maryland. (Thank God for Democrats, people who believe in the spirit of the Constitution when it comes to marriage!)
