口语节目地址：http://bulo.hujiang.com/menu/11921/item/662623/DeRionne Pollard says she's troubled by the level of opposition to gay marriage by some local black ministers.
"I don't think that we are going to whoever you choose to worship to, God, Allah, whatever it's going to be, that at the end that's gonna be the question about who you chose to love, who you chose to make a family with."
Maryland's marriage equality law also reserves the right of clergy to refuse to perform a gay marriage based on their religious belief.
"Every family has a chance to have equality under law."
Rich Madaleno was one of eight openly gay Maryland legislators who approved the same-sex marriage law.
"We have a long history in this country of having a separate and unequal treatment of our fellow citizens. And I worry that if these don't pass, we are going to be returning to that sort of past."
Opponents of the same-sex marriage law in Maryland point out that every time the issue has been put before voters in other states, it's failed to win approval. But gay rights activists remain optimistic, saying attitudes are changing and support for legalizing same-sex marriage is growing.德瑞安·波拉德说来自某些黑人牧师们对同性婚姻的强烈反对让她烦恼不已。
“我不觉得我们需要由你选择信仰的——无论是上帝、真主阿拉还是其他的神明决定我们的终身大事，到最后我们要考虑的问题是你选择爱谁，你会跟谁建立家庭。”
马里兰州的婚姻平等法仍然保留了神职人员基于本身宗教信仰拒绝举办同性婚姻的权利。
“根据法律规定，每个家庭都有机会获得公平。”
里切·马达勒诺曾是八位公开的同性恋马里兰议员之一，他们都支持同性婚姻。
“在我们国家，区别对待和不平等对待公民有很长的历史。我担心如果我们不能通过这些（指同性婚姻法），那我们正退回到那样的过去。”
马里兰州同性婚姻法的反对者指出在其他州，每一次同性恋婚姻合法化的问题被提出来都会遭到否决。但是同性恋权益活动者态度乐观，他们称人们的态度正在改变，对于同性婚姻合法化的支持也日渐增长。
