Maine legalizes same-sex marriage (http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/05/06/maine.same.sex.marriage/)

I know there will still be hurdles to overcome, but I am so happy and proud today! :cheerleader1:GO MAINE!! :cheerleader1:

That is great.

Wahoo! GOOO MAINE!!!!

There was actually a bunch of walabaloo (read 'over conservative uptight Texan rhetoric') on our local news about it. They are all hoping that the New Hampshire governor decides not to sign their bill.

Sometimes I really want to move to a blue state. :)

hurray, Maine!! :bighand:

[smiles33]

I'm jealous/embarrassed that CA hasn't done it yet....Go Maine!

We are just waiting for the gov to sign on next door. It is lonely being the only holdout in NNE.

I'm proud of Maine too and I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong with CA. You'd think it would be the first state to legalize gay marriage. Why can't they get it together. So sad.

Maine ROCKS!!! I would love love love it if NC could be that blue!!! Fingers crossed that by the time my DD knows what's going on all states will have equal rights for all people!!!

Sadly, I think it's because outside of LA and SF and the coast, CA is highly conservative. We've got a "blue state" mentality in the major metro areas, but the rest of the state is solidly red state. I mean, I STILL can't explain how the Terminator is now our Governor. Seriously. I'm embarrassed to be a Californian at times....

Great news!

[citymama]

Yeah Maine! :yay::cheerleader1::bighand::jammin: :loveeyes:

Get with the program, CA and the other 45.

It is really heartening to see the light shine in other places!!

WTG :bighand:

I keep reading that there is some question as to whether he will sign or veto. Hope he signs!

[tarahsolazy]

WTG Maine!! Iowa's law went into effect about a week ago. :)

[mommylamb]

Yay Maine!!! Rhode Island has to get on the bandwagon so that all of New England will allow gay marriage.

Sadly, I don't think my home state of Virginia is going there anytime soon.
