A Maryland lawmaker, angry that he was not able to stop passage of a bill that allows same-sex couples to make medical decisions for their partners, has begun a petition to get the issue on the ballot.

The Medical Decision-Making Act of 2005 cleared its last hurdle this week and is sitting on the desk of Gov. Robert L. Ehrlich Jr. (story)

Even though Ehrlich has not indicated whether he will sign or veto the bill, or two other affecting LGBT rights, Del. Donald H. Dwyer Jr. (R-Anne Arundel) has announced plans to trying to repeal the measure through a voter referendum.
