God bless Gov. Baldacci and all involved in getting this passed!

As far as Sen. Plowman's response that this bill comes "at the expense of people of faith"--oh, give me a break (and someone give her a nice dose of reality!).

This is a great day for Maine and America. May the day come soon when all 50 states recognize us as equal under the law!

Default Well, we're 10% of the population, and we've got 10% of the states,

But I think we'll do a lot better, before this is all over.
