Although Maryland Republicans frequently lament any time the state's actions mirror California's, Del. Don Dwyer hopes Annapolis follows the West Coast on the gay marriage issue this legislative session. Find Us On Facebook
Two months after California voters eliminated same-sex marriage, Mr. Dwyer, R-Glen Burnie, will reintroduce his bill to put a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage before Maryland voters. The legislation is a perennial, and so far unsuccessful, move by the conservative delegate, but he is undeterred heading into the General Assembly session beginning on Jan. 14. "I'm like a dog," Mr. Dwyer...

Another irrelevant article about a policy that will never get passed in Maryland. Continuing to overlook gross corruption within Annapolis city government. Way to go C(x)apital.

I would assume that when Dwyer's constituents stop voting him into office, is about the same time he stops representing their interests in this matter.

Dwyer's Ignorance - 2009-01-14 19:50:32
And, like a dog who loves nothing more than spending its time mindlessly chewing on a bone, Dwyer focuses energy on something satisfying to his own small mind...not of actual benefit to the state of Maryland or its citizens. So, go on Gov. Wallace, stand in the schoolhouse door for your own publicity, but in time, your actions and words will be seen as senseless and ignorant.

CA emboldens Del. Dwyer - 2009-01-07 15:06:09
Once again I was struck to read an article in The Capital reporting on Delegate Don Dwyer?s efforts to reintroduce a bill to put a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage before the Maryland voters.
Mr. Dwyer flatters himself when he says, ?I?m like a dog.? Truth be known, I like dogs and have a lot of respect for their innate sense of affection, friendship, loyalty and protectiveness; however, I have absolutely no respect for Mr. Dwyer and his prejudice against members of the gay and lesbian communities.
In my opinion, Mr. Dwyer?s prejudice, as with all prejudice, is driven by a lack of personal self-confidence and self-worth that has resulted in his base need to diminish the importance and rights of others in what can only be a vain effort to raise his own sense of self-esteem.
Rather than foist the burdens of his frustrations and insecurities upon others, Mr. Dwyer should seek help and do whatever it takes to develop a modicum of self-worth. I have no tolerance and I trust Maryland has no place for Mr. Dwyer?s prejudice.
