The good news is that the fucking mouthbreathers will lose, slowly but surely they will lose and things will change.

Apparently the vast majority of college age Republicans really do not give a toss about gay marriage, or indeed much of social conservatism.

Admittedly, they still have to wrest control from a bunch of white haired hatemongers, but time is on their side, which always helps.

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. 

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.

Yeah, CAns got a taste of that late last year.  Mormon dollars spend in CA made sure Prop 8 passed with gusto.  I'm still hoping it was that very fact that kicks Prop 8's ass in the Supreme Court--if it's a state decision, why are out of state influences allowed to spend money on one side of the dampaign?

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?

Not to mention, esp in a state like CA, you need more than a simple majority to institute rights, so why only a simple majority to take them away?  Fucking laem.

With 70 percent of precincts reporting, so far it is 52% in favor of repealing the law legalizing gay marriage and 48% opposed.  I hate being right sometimes.

So what happens if you got married in the interim?  Do they null it, or make you get a divorce, or just pretend it never happened or what?

The law never actually went into effect because by the time it was going to go into effect the anti-gay marriage folks had already gathered the necessary signatures to put it to a referendum vote, and when that happens the law in question is suspended pending the outcome.  I really thought that this was another place where Maine could be a leader in the country, but instead, it became another ugly follower.

What, petitions actually WORK?
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

And the right-wing theocrats are busy patting themselves on the back over it:

Quote"There's good news and bad news here," said Barber. "The good news is that even in one of the most liberal States in the Union, Maine, the people have once again rejected the ridiculous and oxymoronic notion of 'same sex marriage.' The momentum has again shifted – hopefully for good this time – in favor of protecting legitimate marriage.

"A counterfeit is a counterfeit. An orange is an orange no matter how much you want it to be a turnip. This isn't about 'marriage.' It's about hurting and broken people desperately seeking affirmation of an objectively deviant lifestyle. One that, even in their heart of hearts, they know to be a dead end. As for the militant 'No on 1' homosexual activists? I'm reminded of spoiled children dressing up and playing house, refusing to come in when mom calls for dinner".

"This is an historic battle for the minds and souls of our children – for our very culture. The mealy-mouthed approach must end. This is not just about 'marriage.' It has everything to do with forced affirmation of homosexuality – under penalty of law.

"Indeed everyone who fought hard to defend marriage in Maine is to be congratulated, but if it weren't for a brave group of truth tellers – Paul Madore, Peter LaBarbera and Brian Camenker – who came to Maine in the final hour to hold a press conference and address the pink elephant in the room – homosexual deviancy and the radical 'gay' agenda – counterfeit marriage might have prevailed."

RWHN, if you meet anyone who admits to voting for this you have my full permission from to kick them square in the balls. I'll provide bail money if necessary.
You cannot fathom the immensity of the fuck i do not give.

We used to think that because we had power, we had wisdom.  We used to think the train would travel down the track forever.  But the train has failed the incline, and begins to backwards.  The light of civilization dims and flickers, and we sit and remark about how awful it all is.  As LMNO says, "Things fell apart, and nobody did much of anything."

This, alongside the crippled remains of our free press, is the price of our  complacency...and it's just the beginning.
