Maryland's First Lady Katie O'Malley apologized today for remarks she made at NGLTF's 24th annual Creating change Conference on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Equality on Thursday night.
O'Malley was speaking about the marriage equality bill that failed to pass in Maryland last year, reportedly veering from prepared remarks to lash out at lawmakers who voted against it:
"There were some cowards that prevented it from passing."
Today, O'Malley said she "let my feelings get the better of me":
“I deeply respect that there are strongly held and differing views on marriage equality in Maryland but hope that our state's elected officials will come together to fairly address this important issue for our families and children."
