http://washblade.com/thelatest/thelatest.cfm?blog_id=20649DENVER — Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley spoke briefly Monday with the Blade on the floor of the Democratic National Convention about the merits of civil unions versus civil marriage, Montgomery County's upcoming transgender rights referendum and other gay issues.
Blade: Were you around for Ted Kennedy's remarks?
O'Malley: Yeah, I was. It was very moving. It was hard not to get choked up when you watch a man like that whose family has suffered, endured and persevered. There's so much personal tragedy and yet he fights every day. He's fighting now, even with the physical challenges that he has. It was a very, very inspiring moment and everybody in the delegation was very moved by it.
