With 87 percent of precincts reporting, gay-marriage foes had 53 percent of the vote in a referendum that asked Maine voters whether they wanted to repeal a law allowing same-sex marriage that had passed the Legislature and was signed by Democratic Gov. John

*phew*, well, that's good to hear. Just don't be gay in Maine and hope to get married.

I used to know a gay guy from Maine. Last I heard, he was living in New Mexico.

The anti-marriage folks who won yesterday were fearful enough to lie through their teeth in claiming (much as they did in CA) in their political ads that gay marriage would have to be 'taught' in public schools.

If they're not afraid, what were they lying for?

I don't know what else to say about this. I'm sure it will come up for vote again some day.

Nope, not since the divorce.

And especially not now, since 53 percent of Maine voters have shown themselves to be extremely closed minded and stupid.
