ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) - Maryland gay marriage advocates are circulating a graphic via social media that they say exposes their opponents' strategies to overturn marriage laws.
The graphic released Thursday afternoon responds to news that a Maine court released confidential memos of the National Organization Marriage. The memos outlined strategy to split the Democratic Party base by pitting blacks and Hispanics against gay-rights groups
Released by Marylanders for Marriage Equality, a coalition of groups supporting same-sex marriage, the ad suggests NOM's strategy is to "drive a wedge between gays and blacks" while supporters of Maryland's month-old gay marriage law want to "showcase love, commitment and strong families."
Gay couples won't be able to marry in Maryland until 2013 and the measure is expected to face a referendum on November general election ballot.
