This is not about what people believe in. This is about what marriage is. Marriage is the "marrying" of the sexes. The state does not have the authority to redefine what marriage is. Have civil unions, have family type units, but you dont get to call so-called same-sex unions a marriage. That is an oxymoron.
Aww, lets play comforting soothing music and show cute smiling little children(who dont have a say in where they go) and mix straight couples in with gay couple's so it looks more natural, so people think gay marriage is juuuuust fine.
Marriage is between a MAN and a WOMAN, I know that sounds absolutely crazy and the weirdest idea, but it is fact. Why arent homosexuals fine with civil unions, why do they want to try and redefine marriage?
@idaman12345 "why not just get rid of the word marriage and everyone get civil unions" - Now why would anyone who has an ounce of common sense and who knows anything about history do that?
I dare someone to give me one reason why to reject gay marriage. The reason can't be religious, Religion is your belief and it is illegal to force it on others. Give me one non-religious reason why to reject gay marriages? What non religous document states marriage must be between man and a woman?
Civil marriage serves a societal interest. That is why it exists. That interest has been acknowledged by courts, legislatures, and the people for centuries. That interest is served by the union of a man and a woman exclusively. It is not and cannot be served by the union of two men or two women.
Prestda1 shut up and suck me. You obviously like verbal abuse and have men treat you like a bitch, so shut up and suck on my same-sex married cock. BITCH!! ....ok did you calm down now? good. Now get out before I slap you in the face again! Jesus Christ these homophobes!
Isn't that a typical reaction from a whiny little fudgepacker. I still think a little electroshock treatment might do you some good, it would take care of your limp wrist problems

If you allow gay marriage under civil rights, which they aren't, you have to allow polygamy for the same reason. And gay marriage restricts freedom of speech, results in ridiculous hate crimes laws, which eventually result in hate speech laws...
Prestda, um, what do children and schools have to do with same-sex marriage? It's not illegal to talk about gay people in school, and it never has been! Your vote had *nothing* to do with schools at all. And FYI, you don't own the public schools. There are gay students in school, and there are children of same-sex families in school. Our parents pay taxes, and we deserve to have a safe and comfortable school experience just like any other child.
How about we round all the homophobic 18th century Christian puritains like you and watch them hang one by one from a tree like they did with the witches?
There are many anti-same sex marriage ads posted by a bigot named derekpackard. I have left many comments on several of his videos that he is apparently censoring as none of them have appeared. Not sure why because there are plenty posted that disagree with him. He will not post mine. I guess my opposing views make too much sense. He won't even allow comments directly on his youtube page. Thank you for letting me use this space to expose him. Come on, derek, show my comments!
Polygamy is now before the courts in Canada, soon to be legalized, just 3 years after the definition of marriage was changed to " two persons" from "one man and one woman"
We are definatly not going anymore and alll those who think we are evil, I am so sorry for you. We promote peace and love all Mainers. we are here and will always be the love leaders.
What an unAmerican thing to say. People like you keep the USA from being the best country it could be. So we gays are staying to control the damage bigots like you do and build a better society. We want Maine and the rest of the US to respect both what you might call traditional marriage AND same sex marriages like mine.
How come in Maine you've done such a great job from the beginning, these ads - are so beautiful.
In California we blew it. No gay people in the ads, it seems the campaign was run from a closet, we were entirely defined by THE SAME PR FIRM THAT IS RUNNING THE MAINE CAMPAIGN.
Beware - they have a lot of fear yet to sell, be prepared, but it appears you may already be.
Or let a majority vote on non-whites. I don't think you should have this vote for those reasons, and those reasons only. Please consider, you can move forward, or backwards. I think we can all agree that injustice and discrimination is moving backwards.
I live in Puerto Rico, my best friend was fired for being a lesbian, she managed a project, nearly finished it and then someone else took the credit. I'm afraid of comming out at all for the same reasons. If you are from Maine, and are straight and Catholic please, I beg you, for you to understand that you have the opportunity to bring Maine forward by allowing same-sex marriage. Say no to suicide, say no to injustice. Would you outlaw Jews if you had the chance? Or let others vote on Cathoics?
It takes a sperm and an egg to create a child. That's biology. To raise a child takes parents, the sex of which doesn't matter. And I don't know who you think is "stealing" children, but I can promise you it's none of the people in the video.

Gay "nuptials" are really unnatural and unhealthy for the greater good of our society. It does not matter how long you will push them down the throats of fellow humans, you cant fight and chnage the laws of the universe and redefine gender.
Changing yourself is the shorter road.
Children have the birthright to a father and a mother. Their rights come before yours.
I've twice volunteered doing phone banking for EqualityMaine and from what I've learned doing that I have come to realize a lot of Mainers need to be informed that equal marriage rights ARE NOT 'special rights".I realize it's propganda,I realize it's controversial but no one is asking for special rights here.Never have.There have ALWAYS been all kinds of families in the world and I know we'll all be better off if everyone is allowed to stand on equal footing that way. I FULLY support equality!
Very well done and I loved the fact it showed all types of families. This is about Marriage EQUALITY for everyone. I loved seeing all the happy children. Thank you!
On Tuesday the Maine House of Representatives voted 89 to 57 in favor of the marriage bill without amendment. With the Senate already on record 21 to 14 in favor of the bill, todays House vote means that the legislation granting equal marriage rights to same-sex couples is only two steps away from final passage. The bill needs only a second Senate vote and a signature from Gov. John Baldacci.
Beautifully moving video. We're featuring it at the GCRM (Gay Civil Rights Movement) Media Center on Facebook where we showcase powerful media in support of GLBT people and the Movement. See my channel for the link.
It makes me happy to see straight families I recognize from my community in this video. It's heartening to know that they would come out and support gay and lesbian families (like mine) in Maine.
I love it. A video that speaks to marriage for all.... Not a religeous statement...just one that says that we are all given the right to the persuit of happiness!

It cannot be served by the union of two men or two women because neither of those unions can create new human beings.
The interest society has in marriage can change. The people have merely stated that they do not wish it to. It is their call.
