(WJZ) BALTIMORE A Baltimore City church shows its support for same sex marriage on the eve of a big day for Maryland gay rights activists.

The doors at First Unitarian Church in Baltimore are open to everyone. "You are welcome in our church; you are welcome to our banner dedication," said Co-Minister Phyllis Hubbell. "Men, women, gay, lesbian, transgender, kids, parents, everyone.

People of almost every belief come together and struggle together." In an effort to show their support for equal rights, the congregation and ministers unveiled a banner saying they support civil unions. "The message that we are sending today is that we stand on the side of love. Love for anyone, love for one another."

Hubbell said. "We support them, some of us are them and we support them as human beings, because all of us have inherent worth and dignity," said Allison Farnam.
