Equality in Maine

This November Maine voters will be asked: "Do you want to reject the new law that lets same-sex couples marry and allows individuals and religious groups to refuse to perform these marriages?" Does the wording seem complicated to you? We asked people on the street to give us at In The Life Media their thoughts.

No, a majority of Americans have struck it down almost every time it comes up. Thanks for the compliments real PC their mr. "tolerant". I am a poet and poetry is an expression of art in the form of words. my political or religious beliefs doesn't make me less of one, mr. open-minded. you sound just like another far left wing nazi.

Re: Get over it? --Well genius, are you suggesting we live beyond capitalism? This is about inheritance, immigration, insurance, material matters AND personal matters. Get over it? --When rabbis and ministers have celebrated our marriages and our (yes including your) freedom of religion are being violated? Americans don't want it? --What Americans...Christian Conservative Americans?...Uneducated Americans?...You're not a poet, poetry is about creativity, creativity is about rediscovering freedom

Get over it, Americans don't want it. People are not going to accept gay marriage. Marriage should be left alone.

I propose something simpler like: Are you a homophobic douche-bag? Yes/No

wow is that Question 1?!!!!! Ok so my frist language is Spanish it's not English plus I've been diagnosed ADHD for a long time but here's what I found tricky: "Do you want to REJECT...RELIGIOUS GROUPS TO REFUSE TO PERFORM THESE MARRIAGES. Well YES! What about religious groups that WANT to perform same-sex marriages like Jews or Unitarians? I know that's not the controversy but TO ME, that's what ti SOUNDS LIKE. So I would want to vote YES.

Thats horrible :/

I still just... don't understand... why some people want to ban something that makes other people happy and doesn't involve them.
