<br /><br />Gay rights legislation didn’t too well in Maryland in 1999.<br /><br />Gov. Parris N. Glendening’s sexual orientation anti-discrimination bill was defeated in January. Shortly after, the State Board of Education denied a proposal to prohibit anti-gay harassment in public schools. The Vatican, over the summer, prohibited a Baltimore nun and priest from pastoral work involving homosexuals.
