		<description>For those of us who &quot;get&quot; what happened in Maine. The repeal of the gay marriage law through referendum is a watershed moment that will eventually drive the issue of gay marriage to the Supreme Court. 

The way the world wags is always that the last hold out of people who stand in opposition to just about ANYTHING are always the ones who scream the loudest. 

The glass isn&#039;t half empty, but half full as it was in the 60&#039;s when the civil rights movement finally forced desegreation to the national stage. Specifically in the state of Alabama where angry mobs representing the last gasp of bigotry terrorized kids as the National Guard took them to school.

Gay marriage in the United States will eventually be universal and Maine is at the front of the making it happen.</description>

		<description>ok, I am a maine native, some thoughts

a&gt; our underclass is not black, but we still have one, trust me, they were imported a while ago and never left, even refusing to learn English for generations
b&gt; the peoples veto is a VERY American ideal that harkens back to the foundation of this nation, so to call it unfortunate is to disregard the fact that the only states with anything left resembling democracy are in New England
c&gt; this was a very close vote, but in the end only 1/6 the population voted to be bigots, I object to the language used to include all of Maine as a whole - conservatives, BTW do not believe in government restrictions of rights and this is very true in Maine, what you should say is Maine has some religious bigots who misread the words of Jesus like the Wyman&#039;s and all their buddies.
d&gt; you should take on the Catholic Church, they manipulate the underclasses and they do in Maine, like everywhere else

yeah it sucks, but we shouldn&#039;t blame Maine, we should target the real enemy: Christian incursions into sequel governance.</description>

		<description>So much for representative democracy and protecting the rights of minorities. There&#039;s something fundamentally wrong with putting the rights of a not-so-popular minority that comprises about 5% of the population up to popular vote. Anyone else pissed as fuck at our &quot;fierce advocate&quot; president&#039;s absolute silence on this and R-71?</description>

		<description>It&#039;s hard to watch any state take such a huge step backwards, but of course its worse when it is a state you think of as a home. I&#039;m hoping I never am in this position with a state that is so close to my heart. The whole thing borders on devastating.</description>

After all The Gays are here only to pay taxes for the &quot;&lt;i&gt;special rights&lt;/i&gt;&quot; of heterosexuals.</description>
