Maryland has passed landmark legislation providing protections for the LGBT community, reports Fox News.

Set to go into effect on June 3rd, the law was passed without the support of Governor Larry Hogan (right).

Although Hogan would be expected to either sign or veto the measures, a spokesperson has said that he has decided to nothing, thereby allowing the proposals to take effect.

Although he called for “tolerance and respect” in his 2014 inauguration, Hogan has so far mostly stayed away from divisive issues.

Equality Maryland executive director Carrie Evans said:

“We’re really happy. These are bills that we worked very hard on, and they had bipartisan support in the General Assembly.

“It seems like [Hogan] doesn’t come in with a very entrenched opinion on social issues and that he really is looking at each bill individually.

“With a lot of the measures we’re supporting that don’t cost money, I think he’s going to support them. I think he’ll continue with a sort of fiscal-economic lens, and if we put forward something that would cost the state millions of dollars, he probably wouldn’t support it then.”
