  • Years ago I taught in the wonderful county, Aroostook. One of my treasured students was Paul's wife, Jeanette. Their daughter, Michelle and her life-partner, found me in my Provincetown shop several years ago and we've been in contact since. I am a lesbian and thrilled to think that good old Maine is finally pulling away from its prejudiced past thanks to wonderful Paul and others.All are lucky to have him fighting for human rights now just as he fought before for our country. ALL of us.

  • Paul & Jan are such wonderful people & they raised two outstanding daughters. We are so proud to be pseudo family. And we sure hope this Bill gets passed.

  • A great, great man.

    So, homophobes - asks yourselves this Veteran's Day - are brave men like Paul and Philip Spooner wrong? What were they fighting for, exactly?  Your rights alone? Or everyone's?

  • I hope my mom votes no......bcs she does not know about me being Bi....and it was great on how that father stood up for his daughter like that...makes me proud

  • And thats ok nothing wrong with that ur opinion is ur opinion and no one can change it but u

  • I'm voting yes on one Tuesday, I respect others opinions but I feel as if marriage should be between a man and a woman. I'm not bitter or hateful, I go out of my way to help others, don't generalize.

  • (And thanks to Jeanette for standing by his side, and being a great mom.)

  • What a great father this man is! He was terrified to speak, but he did it to support his gay daughter, and he did it beautifully. He's a patriot in the TRUE sense of the word. Thank you, Paul.

  • Thank you paul and Jeanette!

  • So so beautifully articulated - thank you!!

  • What an utterly wonderful and loving family. Those on the YES side could learn a lot about love, kindness, empathy, and compassion from this family.
