Maryland has become the eighth state in the union to agree to allow gay couples to marry.

Democratic Governor Martin O'Malley signed the equal marriage bill into law last night saying "We are one Maryland".

It will take effect in 2013. Washington state's equal marriage laws passed earlier this year are scheduled to come into effect this summer.
