In an interview with Think Progress, Maryland State Senate President, Democrat Mike Miller, called marriage equality "an attack on traditional families" and repeated anti-gay religious right talking points about the impact of marriage on religious institutions. In response, National Stonewall Democrats Executive Director Jerame Davis issued the following statement:


"Senator Miller admits he sounds like a Republican - and how can you argue? He's perpetuating GOP myths claiming equal access to marriage is an attack on "traditional families" and that religious institutions have been forced "out of business" in other states. These are lies, plain and simple, and Senator Miller should be ashamed. In reality, equal access to marriage strengthens families and promotes stability."


National Stonewall Democrats urges Senator Miller to apologize to his fellow Democrats and the LGBT community in Maryland and across the country for his deplorable and abhorrent appropriation of right-wing lies.
