Maine Voters Speak Out

Wednesday, November 4. 2009

And apparently they don't like us very much. Maine's gay marriage law, passed by the state legislature and signed by the Governor John Baldacci earlier this year, was repealed when voters took to the polls to vote yesterday. It pains me that the majority is continued to allow to vote on minority rights issues. And it pains me even more that I had to update our Big Queer Map.

This is insulting. How dare people steal human rights from other people. It's not right.

you know what's also insulting? a gay rights movement that only focuses on the rights of the most wealthy and most privileged of the community.
