One Man One Woman Wins in Maine

Well Maine is the 31st state to Constitutionally vote what the people of that state want and they voted against same sex marriage. This just continues to prove that even in a liberal state most people want traditional marriage between a man and woman to continue to be the sanctioned marriage.

Voters in Maine on Tuesday overturned a law allowing same-sex couples to wed, dealing a fresh setback to the U.S. gay marriage movement in a race that attracted national attention.

The law was approved by Maine's Legislature in May but was not implemented after opponents gathered enough signatures to put the issue to a "people's veto."

With 87 percent of precincts reporting, votes to reject the law were running at 52.75 percent to 47.25 percent, according to unofficial tallies from the Bangor Daily News.

Frank Schubert, chief organizer of the "Yes on 1" campaign to reject same-sex marriage in the state, claimed victory early on Wednesday, although his opponents refused to concede.

Connecticut, Iowa, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont are the only U.S. states where a same-sex marriage law is on the books. In each instance, the laws were approved by legislatures and judges, not by popular vote. (When the people get to vote traditional marriage between a man and woman win)

Americans are sooo conservative. "Land of the free" my ass! Religious idiots! We are so far ahead here in Europe. In sex education, gay marriage, integration, you name it! You country is too frikkin' big and where is Obama with his "changes" ? pffff. Tell me: How does a straight guys life change if gay people can marry? Right! It doesn't!!!

[countryboy1949]

Yes we are conservative,always have been, hopefully will always stay that way. Glad you guys are so far ahead. On this topic you can just stay ahead of us, we don't care. Have a good day.

[zxcbyyyy]

Actually most of us do care and they were also ahead in getting of rid slavery,

[countryboy1949]

Slavery is not a apples to apples comparison.

I want traditional marriage back too! No more allowing those damn niggers to marry whites, and let's no longer allow people to divorce each other. We need to go back to Biblical times when women came with dowries, bitches today aren't worth just marrying! Let's also go back to stoning adulterers and unmarried people who have consensual sex! Anyone who doesn't support what our holy book says is against traditional marriage!

SUPPORT TRADITIONAL DARK AGES STYLE MARRIAGE!

[MrJSchrader]

Thank you Maine for promoting "family values" by denying the parents of gay daughters and sons the right to their child's happiness and dignity!

How dare left-wing wing extremists say that marriage is "a basic civil right"!!! (Loving v. Virginia, 1967)

[TheMulder1981]

One of the few states left that have any brains or common sense!!!!!

Are you that mad that gays cannot get married that you have't to look at some phony percentages tell that to all the married happy couples.. Secondly you gonna feel like a DUMB@SS when this gay marriage fad flops and never even makes it. Thirdly Its you all that should get a life who think your way is right and trying to prove the whole world that it is which is not you damn idiot. I don't even wanna tell you to look in the mirror you might see a hom-- oh wait... LOL.

[lsmatrix]

Xorezo you are an idiot. I am a homo for not supporting 2 homos to get married? LOL. And futhermore don't get mad because marriage was created for men and woman who wants a deeper level of commitment. I was waiting for an argument because I knew your dumbass was gonna start one and guess what? YOU DID LOL. the truth is this, no one is stopping gays from marrying they just gotta marry the oppisite sex its there choice NOT to in the end ROFL.. Man I crack myself up.... ;3

[countryboy1949]

I completely agree Ismatrix. It's just amazing what sincere people try to argue and evidently don't see that it isn't the same thing. I have the same debate going in another one of my videos. It's amazing.

[lsmatrix]

I agree countryboy1939, slavery and heathcare is completely 2 different things and cant be compared to gay marriage not only that but its very ignorant for gays to use the civil rights argument.. Marriage was for men and woman it didn't mention race, but on the other hand IT DID MENTION GENDER. So that argument of yours is valid just like people were saying 100 or so years ago that the world was flat instead of round. Men I could debate this so much its crazy, come up with a proper argument.....

[countryboy1949]

The tradition of marriage between a man and woman is what he's talking about. Slavery & health care are not the same argument.

So how about showing some support for Peter Vadala in Massachusetts?
