 1145, I'm John Aaron. During this Pride Month, we're getting a look at numbers about same-sex marriages in Maryland. The Census Bureau estimates there were about 4,400 same-sex married couples in Maryland in 2012, the year before the state made it legal. That number grew to more than 10,000 by 2015, when the Supreme Court ruled marriage a fundamental right that could not be denied to same-sex couples. Maryland Matters reports the number of married same-sex couples is now 16,000-plus in the state.
