Protect Marriage Maryland

Protect Maryland Marriage is a Political Action Committee (PAC) formed to preserve the current Maryland Family Law §2-201 which states that "Only a marriage between a man and a woman is valid in this State." The following sections go on to state that "A man may not marry his: grandmother; mother; daughter; sister; or granddaughter," and that "A woman may not marry her: grandfather; father; son; brother; or grandson," nor may they marry their in-laws, nieces, nephews, or similar family relations by marriage. We believe there is value in preserving the traditional definition of marriage, and that efforts of gay activists to change this definition to satisfy the agenda of their own special-interest group does violence to the family structure and the reality that children do best when raised in a stable family, raised with the love, attention, and physical presence of their biological mother and father. We believe that the current marriage law enshrines this reality, and although some families may not always be able to provide these opportunities to every child, keeping the current law is the best way to give respect to the natural family and provide these opportunities by establishing the model of an ideal family for children to be raised in.
