Disappointing election results in Maine re same sex marriage
As someone born and partly raised in Maine, with extensive family there, I am deeply disappointed that the electorate voted down the same sex marriage law passed by the state legislature. I had hoped that Mainers' sense of independence and equality would win over their conservative tendencies. The civil liberties of a minority should never be controlled by the majority: 40 years ago interracial marriage was illegal, but as a civil right was legalized. Likewise women's sufferage. Sigh.
