Freshman Maryland Delegate Sam Arora campaigned on a platform of marriage equality in Maryland. He specifically went after and got the support of Progressive Maryland and of Equality Maryland. He raised lots of money based on his specifically stated support of marriage equality for the LGBT community.
He co-sponsored the marriage equality bill now working it’s way through the Maryland state legislature.
But a few days ago, he let some constituents know he planned to vote “no” on the bill once it reached the House floor. Immediately people in Maryland started scratching their heads -“How do you campaign on a specific issue, co-sponsor the bill then CHANGE YOUR MIND???”
In reports circulating the news, Arora has said in past days point blank that he would be voting against marriage equality because he is “born again” and doesn’t want to “redefine marriage.” He has even gone so far as to remove a Twitter post from January 25th declaring his co-sponsorship and support for marriage equality.
