O'Malley To Outline Plans For Gay Marriage Bill

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- Gov. Martin O'Malley is scheduled to talk about his plans to push harder for same-sex marriage legislation in Maryland.

O'Malley, a Democrat, will hold a news conference on Friday afternoon to talk about how he will support legislation in the next regular session of the General Assembly in January.

The governor has said he has been looking at how New York approved legislation that included protections for religious
freedom.

Same-sex marriage legislation passed the Maryland Senate this year, but it stalled in the House of Delegates.
