The voters in Maine rejected marriage equality, sadly. Someday, the public will grow up and realize that "equal rights" for all means just that, and that homosexuals are human, deserving the same rights as heterosexuals. It really should be that simple.
What I do find somewhat ironic is that this is Maine. The 'christian' opposition to homosexuality is based on Leviticus 20:13, which calls it an "abomination". Leviticus 11:9-12 calls shellfish an "abomination", but somehow I doubt that Maine voters would pass a law banning Lobster, would they?
What's that word? Um...'hypocrisy'?

So true, Pygalgia. It's very sad. But let's hope one of these days people will realize human rights shouldn't be decided by the voters - this will eventually be decided by the Supreme Court, hopefully when there is a progressive majority on the court.
