Maine Rejects Gay Marriage
Written By : Warner Todd Huston

The news for Republicans and conservatives was pretty good with most of the elections yesterday with a landslide for the Virginia GOP and a great win in New Jersey. Conservatives and Republicans did well in other parts of the country, too. One of those other areas was in Maine where the voters rejected a gay marriage proposal.

Voters in Maine repealed a state law that allowed gay marriage, becoming the 31st state to reject gay marriage via popular vote.

As of USA Today’s report, with 87% of the votes tabulated, the opponents of gay marriage had 53% of the vote.

Nearly every state that puts this issue up to the voters finds the majority opposing gay marriage. In Maine’s case, the law was put in place by the state legislature and Tuesday’s vote was the first time the voters got a chance to put in their say on the matter.

Gay marriage is a loser when the people are allowed to speak. The only way that gay marriage supporters seem to be able to win the day is if they get activist judges that force the matter or state legislatures that create gay marriage by legislative fiat as opposed to being based on the will of the voters.

    I guess they agree with President Obama on this issue, then.

    I'm surprised. I spent most of year living in Hancock, ME, a couple of miles NE of Ellsworth and about 25 miles (by road) to Bar Harbour. The sheer number of plaid-flannel clad female homosexuals around that area was amazing. I would have thought for sure that the homosexual fraud would have passed. A-yep.

    More proof that the majority feels that the arbitrary redefinition of a word to suit a vocal minority is going too far to ensure them equal protection under the law.

    Hmmm – there's many in Maine will tell ya that plaid don't equal homosexual.

    If it were left up to a vote interracial marriage wouldn't exist today.

    It's disgusting when you Leftists try to equate the struggle to ensure equal rights for everyone with the selfish desire of a few to change the definition of marriage just to suit their own deviancy.

    While on the train ride down to the 9-12 Tea Party, I took the time to interview everyday people on the train to get their honest opinion of our government. I am a freshman in high school and I put this conservative documentary to let people hear what other Americans have to say. Please forward this link of the documentary to your friends and family. The film is called America Speaks.

    And if you just use San Francisco voters, interspecies marriage would pass by a wide margin. But the whole of California would reject it.

    But I would bet you are wrong on this count. I believe interracial marriage would pass with about the same margin as McDonnel won by in Virginia.

    Given that even when Loving vs State of Virginia went to the Supreme Court most states already had interracial marriage legal and not all that rare, this is an idiotic statement.

    The laws against it would have been overturned in states like Virginia eventually (by now) it just would have taken longer, and the US Constitution wouldn't have been violated so blatantly by the Supreme Court.

    Good thing your side was defeated by Republicans back when MLK was alive, then.
