Sophomore dance performance major Lance Hayes has been dating
sophomore elementary education major Ryan Greene on and off for
the past year and a half. Hayes said they have a dose relationship
because they are more than amorous partners.
"We met through a friend that used to go to Towson and we started
dating. As our relationship formed we became best friends. We can
basically talk to each other about anything," Hayes said. "We can step
outside the boyfriend zone and see each other as friends."
Like many Towson University students, Hayes has an idea of his
future after college. He said he and Greene have talked about future
desires: They want to adopt a foreign child, own a Corgi, and achieve
their occupational goals. There's also one more thing Hayes is hop¬
ing for.
"I plan on getting married with [someone of] the same sex after I
graduate, and this would be a great step for raising my own family in
the future," he said.

The state of Maryland may soon be a location for him to do so.
Within 10 days, the Senate may vote on legislation that would allow
marriage to not just be between a man and a woman.
Sen. James C. Rosapepe announced his support for gay marriage
legislation on Thursday, according to The Baltimore Sim, signifying
the final vote needed to move the bill to the House of Delegates,
where many believe it would pass. Out of the state’s 47 senators, 24
votes are needed for the approval of the bill, which the state has met.
In addition to Rosapepe’s annoimcement, Sea James Brochin of
Baltimore County has given signs that he will support the bill, after
hearing seven hours of testimony at a Senate committee’s public hear¬
ing. Brochin has traditionally opposed the idea of same-sex marriages.
Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller, who does not support
gay marriage, predicted the debate will be fierce, but the bill will ulti¬
mately pass in the House, according to the Sun article.
