Those old and crusty folk from Maine has decided that marriage is between a man and a woman.
What confuses them is one word in the dictionary, MARRIAGE.
The word to most of us means the combing two different element to produce a third-- In science, cooking and general life. It takes two heterosexuals to produce a child.
I do not believe most Mainers give a rats ass about the dude down the road or who they live with, the two woman that form a business relationship and live together.
Most would vote for civil unions, after all how many people in the state are Married by a Justice of the Peace. Not good enough for the Gays, suck it up.
These Maine people will not learn to call an orange an apple, they know a lobster from a flounder a deer from a moose.
Are these people Gay Haters, NO---- they just don't want to be confused with re naming anything they know of.
Gays have the same rights we all have , this they know. They deserve to be treated like anyone else, long as they leave the traditions of the heterosexual alone.
Who are they to demand we except them and change the dictionary .? The State laws and protest the majority. :fuelfire: :fuelfire:
I do remember the separate but equal trend in the early 1960's but this has nothing to do with those American rights, this has opened the door to any kind of sex life to be made legal.
The Mainer want to keep their traditions intact, they are the ones that marry and produce children to keep the country vital and alive.
Gays also contribute to society, arts and science, but their sex needs cannot replace the Marriage tradition that produces just one child that may change the world.
So, get off my back for being a heterosexual, stop trying to change my traditions or some how make them your own.
Go out and get your own traditions, fall on your knees and bless America for allowing you to live. ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGG See how well you will fair in the Middle East'

Vesta, I have this to say . . .
:clap: :clap: :clap:
The End Of The WorldTM must be near . . . because I pretty much agree with you.
As for children "changing the world," considering the way that The Heiress is developing, she just may do that.

This needs moved from "Breaking News" to "General Discussion."
It's a good topic, a great topic, but it's not breaking news.

Very good read.

Well perhaps you are right Frank, it broke yesterday. Of course the media was rather silent on this seminal event. Turns out the voters of thirty other states had already endorsed the same result. Today's local version of Izvestia carried the following front page story ( which apparently had them so distressed that they failed to print numerous pages. )

November 05, 2009 2:00 AMIn the wake of the repeal of Maine's gay marriage law at the polls Tuesday, Pastor Bob Emrich, of Stand for Marriage Maine, said it should now be clear to everyone in the nation that Maine is no different than the other 30 states that have upheld marriage as between a man and a woman."There was thought that Maine was somehow different, that they would vote differently. This vote shows that Mainers are in touch, just as the rest of the country," he said. "It's a big mistake that politicians thought they could treat this as political issue. This is marriage. Mainers now share this in common with people across country. The trend nationally is strengthening that marriage is between a man and a woman."

Now XXX rated tapes of a beauty queen, that is breaking news.
How many states are required to pass a constitutional amendment? 2/3 of 50? How many states have currently voted down Gay Marriage? (31) Gee, imagine that.

Somewhere, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain is smiling at your post, Vesta.

Before the election, I saw several articles about how "Maine may be the first state to legalize Gay Marriage by a popular vote". Maine voted, and made it clear that the majority do not support homosexual marriage, and now we don't hear a peep from the news organizations. Americans have made it clear through popular vote that we do not support homosexual marriage, more than 50% of the population in 30 states, including California (!), have said no to it. I think it is time for people to respect our votes.

Vesta,
It seems to me that your familiar platitude was changed subsequent to the 1960 election to the more correct version; "As Maine goes, so goes Vermont." It was after that when them stump humpers climbed on board the left wing express an never got back off. (or was that '64, dang I can't quite remember so good any more).
After thirty-one states have rejected their premise one would think the gay lobby would be finished with their back door shenanigans. But no they will continue pushing.
Sparky,
Makes you wonder how such an initiative would fair on the ballot next time around here in NH. For those from away, NH, along with Massachusetts, had gay marriage rammed down its throat without a vote of the We the little People

Uh, yeah.... the only problem is that Mainers already voted to legalize it, I guess...what? We have different voters now?
The opponents had to keep coming back at it like a dog lunging to jump a fence. The dog finally found a place where the fence dipped juuuussst low enough for him to clear it. Sneaky f^ckin' dog, eh?
Sorry, but I guess I'm too much of a Libertarian to agree with you all.
Vesta111, I don't give a rat's ass if you're a heterosexual, any more than I give a rat's ass my best friend is gay. Your commentary on "Mainers" made me throw up a little in my mouth. Here's a helpful hint, if you want your fine art to be appreciated, don't use an industrial size paintbrush.
Although I am currently in Boston, my permanent home is in Maine.

I was under the impression that the state legislature legalized it, and a grass roots movement got the referendum to repeal it on the ballot. If that is true, then it's merely a case of the will of the people prevailing on a moral issue.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Let's face it, the proponents of gay marriage don't want to go this route and would much rather make it legal through judicial activism.

Yes, I suppose you are correct; however the Governor was initially against the legislation, but was convinced otherwise by the voice of the people.
I'm angry at 53% of the state of Maine. Sorry, I'm on a (personal) rant. I do agree the people should prevail. :thatsright:

Since NH law doesn't allow for such a referendum, they're trying to allow for it via constitutional amendment. This oughta be good if Lynch doesn't play ball.

In Maine, as in NH, the legislature passed it without mandate, and Lynch, despite his public statements time and time again saying he'd veto it, signed it. Whoever runs against him next year needs to put that in EVERY anti-Lynch ad out there.
