MDFME TAKES OUT NEWSPAPER AD CONDEMNING SUSPENSION OF GALLAUDET OFFICER
BALTIMORE – Marylanders for Marriage Equality took a full-page ad out in The Capital newspaper today condemning the suspension of Gallaudet University’s Dr. Angela McCaskill. The ad text is below.
We condemn the suspension of Gallaudet University’s Dr. Angela McCaskill last week. She should be reinstated immediately.
Unfortunately, opponents of marriage equality are trying to make what happened to Dr. McCaskill about Question 6, the November ballot measure that will allow gay and lesbian couples to get a civil marriage license and protects religious freedom.But her suspension from a DC university has nothing to do with Question 6 in Maryland. It does however have everything to do with being able to express one’s opinions, freely, and participate in the political process.
As an American, Dr. McCaskill has every right to her view on marriage – and that includes signing the petition to put the issue to a public referendum.
Question 6 is about fairness and equality under the law, and it’s only fair Dr. McCaskill get her job back.
