Maine Senate just voted in favor of Marriage Equality

It will pass the House with a big margin.

The opponents can collect signatures to have a "people's veto" on the November ballot. We can beat them!

Edited to correct the spelling of my state. Duh!

1. When it rains, it pours, and it's raining on the Republican's parade.

7. Civilization is breaking out all over
I don't expect it in New Mexico any time soon. The conservatives have to glue their heads back together after we got rid of the death penalty last month.

Poor things can take only so much at one time.

8. damn I wish i could remember the name of the lady who lead
Edited on Thu Apr-30-09 01:45 PM by jonnyblitz
an anti-gay group in Maine during the early 90's. I happened to be at my parents in Maine at the time and i remember her group put anti-gay flyers in the bangor daily news papers and we were all appalled. it was prior to a gay rights referendum vote. This lady became quite notorious and then she eventually left the state. i have googled all combinations of words I could think of to come up with her name but I can't get anything. If I remember correctly, her and Mike Heath from Maine Christian Civic League (or whatever they call themselves now)and her didn't get along. DAMN i wish i could think of her name.grrrrrr
