That\u2019s up  four percentage points from an identical poll conducted in 2007. Even  more encouraging, 55 percent of respondents to the poll say that gay  marriages that took place in other states should be recognized in Maryland. Only 38 percent of  respondents said that Maryland should not recognize same-sex marriages from other  jurisdictions. Maryland Attorney General Douglas Gansler, who earlier this year issued a legal  opinion that Maryland should recognize  same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions, believes that Maryland\u2019s poll numbers reflect  larger national trends. Gansler stated, \u201cAttitudes are changing, and  they are changing rapidly because there is a recognition that it is  unfair, legally and morally, to prohibit people from the pursuit of  happiness. Twenty years from now, we’ll look back and think this was a  quaint discussion\u2014every state will have gone this way.\u201d\u00a0To ensure that equality  for the LGBT community prevails in Maryland, visit and support Equality Maryland."},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Voters in Maryland Support Same-Sex Marriage","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/voters-in-maryland-support-same-sex-marriage\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
