A civil war based on if homosexuals can get married or not is totally gay.

Of course, this means there will be a referendum question on the next ballot to repeal this.  So, it's a good step forward, but, it could possibly be short lived depending on where the people of Maine are with this issue.  And I'm not so sure that they won't vote to repeal it, albeit narrowly.

Maine just ok'd gay marriage.

ECH made them do it.  He was howling something about "liberty for all", whatever the hell THAT is.  Sounded like one of those guys with the long white wigs, back in the old days, you know, before WWII.

Then he devoured a congressman alive, just to drive the point home.

Do NEVER fuck with the weird.  Or they'll kill you.  And perverts will eat your brains.

From now on, this is how I will remember it as happening.


IZ CANON, BITCHES!

this.

and due to the way our legislative timing works, the law willgo into effect in 91 days.

the petition to put a referendum on the ballot must be turned in with signatures in 90 days, at which point the law will be suspended from becoming implemented while the referendum waits to pass or fail, which means that there will be no window of time during which actual gay people will be able to actually marry in Maine.

There are alot of fucktarded "family values" groups preparing to spend ALOT of money here to put the kibbosh on gay marriage in Maine. Any bright ideas that anyone might have as to what one lone pervert can do to combat this would be greatly appreciated.

Get Castine to become the Provincetown of Maine.

Here's what our esteemed Gov. John Elias Baldacci had to say:

"In the past, I opposed gay marriage while supporting the idea of civil unions," Baldacci said in a statement read in his office. "I have come to believe that this is a question of fairness and of equal protection under the law, and that a civil union is not equal to civil marriage."

While I'm glad Baldacci signed the thing, could the guy have any less conviction?

we already have one of those. It's called Ogunquit.

and the problem is that though gay marriage is probably slightly favored in Southern Maine (where most of the people are), it's likely to be HEAVILY opposed in northern/central/eastern Maine to the point where a statewide vote against gay marriage in the 55% range seems fairly likely.

It's great to see that that asshole from my state is "leading the fight" against The Gays.

I didn't vote for him.

Yep, and it's already begun:  The signature collection drive is in motion.

The citizen's initiative I think it a bit of a double-edged sword here in Maine.  Especially when you have an issue like this one that is just about evenly split between the supporters and opponents.  So Maine passes a law, the citizens vote it down.  Maine passes a slightly different law a couple of years from now.  It gets voted down again.  Mainers like to think of themselves as independent, but as a State, we can be horribly indecisive as well.

I don't think that protecting the rights of a minority group should ever be left to the hands of the voters. Kind of defeats the whole purpose of having a representative democracy.

I mean, imagine if school desegregation in the south had been put to a popular vote?
