MD: Attorney General Issues Positive Opinion on Gay Marrriage

Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler says he believes Maryland's highest court likely would rule that gay marriages valid in another state would be valid in Maryland. However, Gansler writes in a 45-page opinion on Wednesday that while he doesn't know for sure how the Maryland Court of Appeals would rule, he's outlining his view of how the court "would likely resolve this issue."

Maryland law defines marriage as a union between a man and a woman. But the state also generally acknowledges couples married elsewhere.

Maryland has extended a variety of protections to same-sex couples in recent years, but it has stopped short of legalizing marriages or civil unions.
