  1. Chuck Hagel's mea culpa to the LGBT community

    A few days ago there was speculation that President Obama would introduce two Cabinet nominees last week -- Sen. John Kerry for secretary of State and former Republican Sen.

The Human Rights Campaign and the NAACP were proud partners in this campaign, working together to build support for Question 6 across Maryland.
