Md. Senate to force vote on same-sex marriage

ANNAPOLIS — The Maryland Senate will kick off a debate on the legalization of same-sex marriage as early as next week, Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. said on Tuesday.

Miller, D-Calvert and Prince George’s counties, said he will try to force a vote on the issue through a motion for cloture, ahead of expectations that the floor debate will turn into a marathon.
