Legalized: January 1, 2013

On different surveys conducted by different leading news publications in Maryland during 2011-2012, between 49-51% of registered voters approve of or are in favor of same-sex marriages. The results of these polls would reflect on the statewide referendum held for the approval of same-sex marriages. It was a momentous moment not only in Maryland but also in the United States as the event marked the very first time that a law was enacted by popular vote legalizing same-sex unions.
