Goddammit, Maine! I thought you were cool! And then you up and pull shit like this.

We are so over.

Edit: To quote Liss: This country is not, and never has been, well-served by leaving the civil rights of the minority in the hands of the majority. Putting that up to a vote which is subject to deeply held prejudice is ruling not by democracy, but by mob mentality.

That's so depressing. Since when was it a good idea to put civil rights through a popular opinion poll like that? If we'd done that a century ago, women would not have gotten the right to vote.

siigh, once again the intolerant few ruin it for others. I really think that out of state monies should be banned from interfering with others elections. Damn and blast it all.

Just wait for 2012, when the state constitutional amendment to repeal same sex marriage gets through the political calendar and comes up before the voters of Iowa.
