Maine becomes next state to legalize same-sex marriage

http://politicalwire.com/archives/2009/05/06/maine_lawmakers_approve_same_sex_marriage_bill.html

"The Maine Legislature has given final approval to gay marriage and sent the bill to an undecided governor, the AP reports.

The Senate voted for the bill but not by enough votes to override a veto. Gov. John Baldacci has 10 days to decide whether to sign it.

Update: Baldacci signed the bill."

Wow, that's what? Three states in under two months?

If this continues, we can expect several more states to approve of gay marriage by the end of '09.

Hee hee hee, like dominoes, they are. :twisted:

Good for them. This thread is going to end up being 10+ long with religious debate.

When I read: "undecided governor"...

I interpret it as: "governor who really hoped for either a) not enough votes for a bill to pass, or b) enough votes to override a veto. That way, the governor is absolved of all responsiblity and won't lose support from anyone during re-election."

****!! Immoral wrong-doers blinded by how evil and immoral such propositions are! No one has real authority to endow same sex marraiges. They think they're married, when in reality it is exactly the opposite.wiifan001

They're divorced?:?

Another great day for patriotic, freedom-loving Americans :)

meh,..

Excellent, soon all of New England will legalize same-sex marriage, then they will secede as the Democratic Republic of New England. The Gay Capital of the World!

I'm glad this whole thing is making good progress through New England. Now all we need is for other states to pass similar legislation.Bourbons3

[QUOTE="wiifan001"]What ever happened to something more important, the Bible? God's law > man's law.Genetic_Code

Are you kidding me? I could post a sensationalist fundy site that says the exact opposite and yet be the complete equal to that garbage in every way.

EDIT: Trying to make the Bible of all things out to be anti-Semitic is just hilarious in its sadness.

It's a piece of paper with words. It has no real meaning, only a false meaning that is being attempted to be accepted in today's society. It has no meaning.wiifan001

Meh tbh i've never really cared about gay marriage I mean if I were given a choice i'd probably legalize it but I don't see it as some type of huge "society progression"
