I would urge anyone that lives in Maryland's 10th district to vote out state delegate Emmett C Burns Jr at the next available opportunity. While I fundamentally disagree with Mr Burns strident opposition to marriage equality I totally defend his right to be an ignorant bigot.
I oppose Mr Burns or anyone else regardless of their political affiliation trying to restrict free speech rights of any person in this country. I was against it when conservatives tried prevent Americans from speaking out against George W Bush last decade and I oppose it when a homophobic politician and baptist minister that happens to be a Democrat tries to get the owner of a football team to silence one of his players. #freespeech
