What Gays Are Being Forced To Do Again Today
In Maine and Washington state, voters are getting a say in whether or not gays can have equal partnership rights. In Maine, same sex marriage, already approved by that state’s legislature, is being voted on. In Washington, “everything but marriage” – equal marriage in everything but name is on the table.
Never before has a group of people in this country had to have their civil rights voted on.
This is what America again is forcing us to do.
Despite the lunacy of the process, we need everyone’s support today. The more people who vote, the greater our chances of winning.
Vote NO in Maine, vote YES in Washington.
