There's some group protesting gay marriage in Germantown MD

I don't know who they are, but there were about 12 to 15 men in what looked black suits and white shirts hanging around at Rt. 118 and route 355 this afternoon with lots of big handmade signs supporting "traditional marriage," etc.
I wish I'd gotten a closer look, but I had to keep up with the moving traffic.

Has anyone else seen these or know anything about them?

Maryland will have a ballot question on marriage equality in the upcoming elections.
I strongly support marriage equality, and I hope y'all do too.

I want to find out who they are and how organized and extensive the group is.

There was some Maryland ballot question a few years ago that the haters tried to stop by saying we would all be forced to use co-ed restrooms. In our area the Covenant Life church spent a lot of money on signs and info material to oppose the ballot question. They had groups of people handing out this stuff at a number of polling places.
