Maine Voters Reject Gay Marriage

Updated at 2:37 a.m. Eastern . Voters in the northeastern state of Maine repealed a state law that would have allowed same-sex couples to wed, dealing the gay rights movement a heartbreaking defeat in the corner of the country most supportive of gay marriage.

Does that tell the Gay activist anything? Even the most liberal states and cities reject Gay marriage. Why can't they go for civil unions and the same rights? Will that now stop that anti-Prop 8 lawsuit as it appears they will lose?

Give it 20 years, when all of the anti-Gay people are pissing their depends or feeding the grass, it'll pass nation wide and no one will make a peep against it.

Admit it, you know that's what going to happen.

Happens everytime, some group stonewalls on something but eventually they fade away.

Independence, Slavery, Women's rights, Segregation.

In a culture clash the younger group always outlasts the older one.

Gays should boycott Maine. Ogunquit will go bankrupt. Buncha fruits over there. They will move to Provincetown, MA. What is it with gays and the ocean?

Nope that just proves to the court that people can not vote anyone rights and it make the argument more stronger.

How can human rights in the United States be a vote-able issue? Any consenting adult should be able to marry any other consenting adult in any state.

[John Doe]

The Majority do not agree.

It simply tells us we need to fight harder.

Separate but equal is never equal, you know, and as long as there are folks out there voting to harm our families, there will be folks fighting for our family's right to exist, and be legally recognized.
