Just FYI, I am not discouraged. Fight it all you want, we will in fact, have our right to marry whichever one adult we happen to fall in love with regardless of gender.

@jiggleitalittle - Yes, many innocent, loving families have been deeply hurt by this right-wing bigotry.

@MrRayBnz you dug a hole for yourself there mate because you state:

being gay= mental illness

a mental illness by definition is not a choice (of course who would choose to be mentally ill?)

therefore being gay= not a choice

hah, logic owns xtian fundamentalism

BTW check the polls to see that apparently the majority of californians now oppose referendum 8

And we'll be back again and again and again until we have our rights. It is just wrong that the State of Maine openly discriminates against its gay and lesbian citizens in regards to handing out a state issued license whether that license is a fishing license or something of much more importance such as a state issued civil marriage license.

You do not have the right to use our civil government to withhold licenses predicated upon yourChurch's religious dictates! I'm not a member of your Church!

Fine Maine. Just keep in mind that most State Constitutions do not provide for discrimination of a minority class of people. You have to RE-WRITE your Constitution to make discrimination LEGAL in order for a law to exist that restricts marriage licenses from being issued to a particular minority group, you have to codify discrimination, like California did with Prop 8. Otherwise, any law the majority votes to pass to restrict the rights of a minority will be un-Constitutional. ie. Prop 1.

@bgibb101 kind of like how the church pushed its ideology on the rest of the nation thru the courts to push an unconstitutional amendment like banning same sex marriage or thru a vote that shouldnt even be on the ballot because it unconstitutional. and use fear mongering lies and deception to get the votes they want?? gay marriage isnt nonsense. the arguments used against it are nonsense.

@dogafro - William Wilberforce, and English Christian, fought to have the Slavery Abolition Act 1833 established. Very few Americans owned slaves, only the wealthy and the selfish did that. Show me today where gays & lesbians are denied their rights in the USA? Same-sex marriage is a nonsense term, plucked out of the air and dressed up as 'human rights' by homosexual activists and pushed onto the nation through the courts when the people say 'no' with their votes.

Wow. Congrats on ruining the lives of millions of families everywhere. Seriously. Kudos. I'm so glad to see religion be so readily apart of the government! Now... what has this done to improve the economy, bring back the lives of our dead servicemen or help the lives of any person? Wow, what a victory!

People just need to understand the huge disconnect between the liberal media propaganda and the average person's core beliefs. The liberal media live in a bubble and that bubble sometimes is transparent sometimes pitch black. On homo's it is pitch black.

We love you Maggie!

Before the 1800s, hardly anyone ever got married, legally or ceremonially. Marriage was reserved for the rich, and had nothing to do with "love" as most marriages were arranged by the parents of the betrothed.

Victory for Marriage = GR8

Bring back homosexuality to DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders). Fact > political correctness
