It looks like this may be on the ballot next fall for Rhode Island once the lame duck Republican fucktard of a governor we have is ousted. So far, no other conservative candidates have come forward to run, so we could have a Democratic run-off.

Don Carcieri is lobbying against gay marriage in Massachusetts. That's right, the governor of little Rhode Island, struggling to keep it's head about water, is caring more about issues in MA than worrying about the much more serious issues back home.

Naturally, our favorite Italian Gay Jew Providence mayor is all over that shit, but he can't even sign a contract for the firefighters union so...

There are priorities, Suu.

There's going to be a very French Revolution-style storming of the RI State House by the Tea Party if he doesn't do something soon.

Oh, Maine...I'm not sure whether I'm more saddened by the outcome itself or by the fact that it was so fucking inevitable.

If that looks imminent, let me know, and I'll send you a portable webcam.

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?

They do in Maine.  A lot of laws get passed, or repealed, as a result of citizen initiatives in my state.  One I was involved in back in the late 90s was on forestry regulations, specifically, a citizen initiative to ban clearcutting.  And that came about because the Green Party got a bunch of signatures and got it on the ballot.  And they had so much support the state had to come out with a competing, more moderate measure to compete with it.  As it turned out, both the clearcutting referendum, and the state's version, called the Compact were both defeated by option 2C, which was essentially, none of the above.

yeah...if there's anyone out there who says things along the lines of "representative democracy would work if we actually HAD a true representative democracy...", well, I'd just tell them to go take a look at "the way life should be".

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.

What a bunch of crap.  And Maine is certainly NOT one of the most liberal states in the Nation.  We are very purple.  I mean, yeah, put us up against Texas and Alabama, yeah, we're pretty liberal.  

This vote just pisses me off to no end.  I thought we were finally going to make some headway on this.  It was another chance for Maine to lead.  But, no, goddamnit the anti gay-marriage people put the fear of God into people that if we allow two consenting adults to marry, who just happen to have the same plumbing, that all of a sudden the public school system was going to turn into a big gay-indoctrinating machine.  And 52% of Maine voters believed that bullshit.  

But I was very proud of the kids I was with these past two days.  We talked about it and processed it this morning because they were all pissed too.  They get it.  And that gives me a little hope that maybe, we can take another shot at it and get it right.

Amazing we really have not come very far from Harvey's time, either.  With all this technology, knowledge and so-called increased literacy, we're still dumb hicks, most of us.  Very fucking sickening.
