A marriage equality bill in Maryland advanced to the floor of the House yesterday after simple majority votes by the Judiciary and Health & Government Operations committees. There was a surprise yes vote from Republican Robert Costa who is the first Republican to support the bill. It is unclear if there are enough votes in the House to pass.
In NJ, the Senate passed a marriage equality bill and it is expected to pass the House tomorrow. Gov. Christie has vowed to veto it calling it "political theater." However, under NJ law, the legislature has 2 years to override the veto.

I feel cheated that Delaware, where I live only passed a Civil Union bill. Bill and I were going to get "Civil Unioned" but I think I'll wait until the country catches up and legalizes same sex marriage on the federal level. That's the one that counts. All the rest of these state by state passages are just the preliminaries to the Big Show.
