Now the question might just be whether Horseshoe Baltimore will be hosting any same-sex marriages, as Caesars has at other properties it owns. In one instance, Penn National Gaming, which opposed the gambling expansion measure, funded a mailer by the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force - before the gambling expansion measure had been passed - that urged those in support of same-sex marriage to oppose a special session to approve the expansion. ![]() Some wanted expansion, while others - with existing interests here and in neighboring states - did not. Ahead of the vote, casino interests were spending a lot of money to shape things in their favor. In 2012, separate questions to expand gaming in the state and to allow for same-sex marriages here appeared on the same ballot. It wouldn't be the first time the casino industry has dipped its hand into issues affecting gay rights in Maryland. ![]() (Caesars has supported pride in Las Vegas, and the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Community Center of Baltimore, which runs Pride here, was hard-up for major sponsors this past Pride.) A Horseshoe spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment, but it should be interesting to watch if Horseshoe reaches out in any big way to Baltimore's LGBT community, or perhaps even shows up as a major sponsor of Baltimore Pride next summer.
