At the center of LGBTQ Frederick, Maryland

At the center of LGBTQ Frederick, Maryland | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

Frederick County, an exurb of Washington D.C. and Baltimore—roughly equidistant to both—has seen a growth in population of around 25 percent since 2000. Much of this increase is attributed to an influx of young married white-collar workers and professionals or singles moving into new housing developments. Indeed, the median age in the county is seven years younger than the rest of the state.

Gay rights supporters wage a quiet campaign to push Republicans to the middle

Gay rights supporters wage a quiet campaign to push Republicans to the middle | PinkieB.com | LGBTQ+ Life | Scoop.it

Few elected Republicans support giving gays the right to marry. The party’s influential social-conservative wing sees “traditional marriage” as a defining issue. And while most major Democrats are rushing to embrace same-sex marriage, none of the most prominent potential Republican presidential candidates have taken that step. But a powerful group of Republican donors, who see the GOP’s staunch opposition to gay rights as a major problem, is trying to push the party toward a more welcoming middle ground — where candidates who oppose marriage rights can do so without seeming hateful.
