Thank Maine for Passing Same-Sex Marriage Law

This is a victory for equal rights, and comes almost five years after Massachusetts became the first state in the nation to allow same-sex marriages. The other states are Connecticut, Iowa and Vermont.
Unfortunately, it looks like opponents are already moving to overturn the law. All they need to do is collect 55,000 signatures within 90 days of the the Legislature's adjourning to get a referendum question on the ballot. If they succeed, the law would be suspended until a vote can be held.
There's another hard fight coming, but in the meantime, let's celebrate this victory and thank those who made equal rights possible in Maine!
I want to thank you for the recent law to allow same-sex marriage in Maine.
Gay and lesbian couples should be allowed the same state constitutional rights as any other group, and that includes the right to marry. I appreciate and honor the state's decision to recognize those rights.

Thank you again, and I hope that you will stand firm in opposing any efforts to undue this marvelous victory for equal rights.
