Maine Rejects Gay Marriage
Posted on November 4, 2009

The news for Republicans and conservatives was pretty good with most of the elections yesterday, with a landslide for the Virginia GOP and a great win in New Jersey. Conservatives and Republicans did well in other parts of the country, too. One of those other areas was in Maine where the voters rejected a gay marriage proposal.
Voters in Maine repealed a state law that allowed gay marriage, becoming the 31st state to reject gay marriage via popular vote.
As of USA Today’s report, with 87% of the votes tabulated, the opponents of gay marriage had 53% of the vote.
Nearly every state that puts this issue up to the voters finds the majority opposing gay marriage. In Maine’s case, the law was put in place by the state legislature and Tuesday’s vote was the first time the voters got a chance to put in their say on the matter.
Gay marriage is a loser when the people are allowed to speak. The only way that gay marriage supporters seem to be able to win the day is if they get activist judges that force the matter or state legislatures that create gay marriage by legislative fiat as opposed to being based on the will of the voters.

I was vacationing in Maine this past summer and the local television was plastered with ads promoting homosexual marriage and pushing for votes to make it law.
Let me point out that the homosexual activists have already hijacked the word “gay” and now want to hijack one of the world’s oldest traditions, marriage.
No matter how rationally one tries to debate this, the homosexual activists start with the name calling and character assassination when someone disagrees with them. Look what happened in California when voters there voted it down.
I have no problem with people that want to make a life together. If that makes them happy, so be it. I’m not one of the opponents that believes homosexuals should be burned at the stake for being queer. But the backlash will continue to hit them if they don’t stop the heavy-handed tactics the homsexual activists use. Unless the more rational and hard-working gay people speak out against those tactics, even legally sanctioned partnerships will become less likely.
“The news for Republicans and conservatives was pretty god…”
I’d call that a natural Freudian typo. The G should have been capitalized; oh, you meant to say good. lol
The so called separation of church which is not to be found in the constitution, it’s misapplication by the courts and the marginalization of God as an integral part of America is why such a ballot initiative ever came about. A wicked and perverse generation clamors for an unbridled horse to ride into oblivion; it’s up to those with better judgment to reign in such foolishness.
LOL… that’s what I get for blogging from a hotel room in North Carolina! I fixed it.
Massachusetts makes sure not to let the people speak. I guess you could say that the legislators are Democrats against Democracy.
