HRC Local: Maryland

launch of Marylanders for Marriage Equality

The Human Rights Campaign fights for LGBT equality in Maryland alongside state and local groups and lawmakers.

In 2012, HRC made securing marriage equality in Maryland a top priority. In fact, HRC was the largest national funder of the four pro-equality ballot measure campaigns – of the $8 million we’ve invested in efforts to expand marriage equality, $5 million have gone directly to Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, and Washington.

HRC was a founding member and leader of Marylanders for Marriage Equality, the coalition campaign that successfully defended the state's new civil marriage equality law
