Gay marriage in Maine

The state of Maine has legalized gay marriage and opponents are trying to pass a proposition 8-style ballot measure to stop it. Gay marriage supporters are framing the issue as a basic civil rights issue, an approach I agree with totally. There's their first commercial:

Sorry gay marriage is a moral issue and homosexual relations are immoral and a grievous sin.

[BisexualCrusader]

You are confusing morality with religious conviction. Sorry religion is superfluous in the real world.

Put bigotry on the ballot, and it will win every time. Few things are harder for people to resist than an opportunity to deprive others of what they themselves are free to take for granted.

If racial integration and women's suffrage had been left up to "the people" in previous decades, we'd still have "restricted" neighborhoods, "colored only" drinking fountains, and a nonvoting female population.

people who for gay marriage stop arguing with the homophobes we can't win these arguments they are irrational using logic does not work with them.

Sometimes a commercial can restore ones faith in humanity. Good for the people who put this ad out, drown out the voice of the bigots of this world and those who hide behind God to defend their hatred.

@ih8faggots1000 my husband and I got 7K back in Federal and state taxes last year. Many people are unaware that the IRS was sued and now gay couples in California can get joint FEDERAL tax refunds. We are also filing back Federal taxes for 2008 and 2009.

@ih8faggots1000 marriage is a legal contract, and has nothing to do with your sky fairy. Get over it. I'm married and not a damn thing you yahoos can do about it in Arkansas! LOL!

[lisztnut]

@ih8faggots1000 it will all be completely moot, warbound06 once all the bans are invalidated at the Supreme Court. See you in court, yahoo!

[lisztnut]

@ih8faggots1000 yep, I'm a very PROUD faggot! That's because faggots outperform straight men in income, education, travel and frequency and quality of sex. Now, go shoot yourself with your fat mama's gun in PIne Bluff, Arkansas, where you live in that trailer park. Did you notice my comment got 50 thumbs up?
