Religious fundamentalists are on the march in Maine. With the help of the quasi political organization, the Mormons, they have raised what may be enough signatures to prevent the law from being enacted in September.
The petitions will have to be verified by the state prior to any action, however the group calling itself, Stand for Marriage Maine, is continuing to gather signatures.
This is another Prop 8 in the making and the LGBT community and its allies need to handle this one with more expertise than the California mess. Might I suggest not sitting around and hoping the voters will come to their senses? A strong push needs to be made to convince Maine residents that LGBT rights are Human Rights.
