Fear and prejudice win again. Congratulations Maine for being able to deny rights to another minority.

point this out: same-sex marriage should be a federal law.
Americans are denying other Americans their rights solely on a
biased attitude. There is no reason why anyone should feel
threatened by two people living their life and loving who they
want. If homosexual marriages are wrong to you, have you considered
that maybe heterosexual ones might be wrong to someone else? There
should be a separation of church and state and the only excuse
people can come up with to oppose same sex marriage is the
Bible.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.trib.com/news/opinion/mailbag/article_ac2c66cd-4c7c-5d57-a065-557a18668e17.html">giving
the states a choice about refusing rights to a certain group of
people is appalling. If LBJ had given the states a choice about
segregation, I assure you the South would still be segregated.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/C4D5DB11-D1B0-4259-A84B-269ABA00C1CA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
