solidarity with those who were killed and injured in boston. runners are a special breed. they had extra security if place for that event, put something spectators minds at ease. obviously, it s on your mind because it s awful. but i don t think tell happen here t. doesn t worry me. i said, all the more reason to be here, solidarity with the people. very sad. especially at buckingham palace. not worried at all. it s on my mind. i am really, really upset about what happened there. this, we are doing in support. all the runirs are wearing the black arm bands. it s a beautiful day. it s a great time. i am here to support my son and my daughter who is about to run past any minute now. but life goes on. jamie: london organizers pledged to donate $3 for every finisher of the race to a fund that has been set up to benefit the boston bomb victims.
retail district as well. there is some chafing between protesters and the police. one of the large effort organizers protests leading up to this nato event said that the president needs to get the chicago police to stand down immediately, if he valuesh his re-election chance this is fall. it s a sign at a minimum that there is chafing amongst the demonstrators and the police. the largest demonstration will wind its way down to mccormick place, several miles from here t. doesn t quite get here, to the nato summit. but the hallmark or the highlight, if you will, of that event, when they reach that destination near mccormick, afghan u.s. military service mep with afghan status, served in afghanistan, will be discarded or throwing away their service ribbons and medals in protest of the current ongoing campaign in afghanistan. that s the story from here. thank you, steve.
we love to hear your opinions and we will read some of your responses later on in the show. even though maryland doesn t allow same-sex marriage, it will allow same-sex divorce. okay. the state s highest court ruled that same-sex couple who is marry in other states can get divorced in maryland. a gay couple who got married in california in tent 08, filed for divorce in maryland. one of the women and her lawyers say they are relieved with the court s decision. the impact of this decision is incredible. it affects family law, the state, all kinds of rights that married couples have. i can be thankful that maryland, the state i live and work in and move property in is moving in the right direction. same-sex weddings and marriages are set to start in the state in january. however, supporters of traditional marriage are in the process of collecting enough signatures to put this issue on the ballot in maryland in november.
