"BOSTON (Reuters) - The lower house of the Maine state legislature passed a bill on Tuesday that takes the northeasternmost U.S. state a step closer to being the fifth in the nation to allow same-sex marriage."

"The bill now returns to the state Senate, which has previously approved it. If it passes there it will be brought to the governor for his signature."

"Governor John Baldacci once opposed gay marriage but in April said he is keeping an open mind on the issue."

Not good. These switches will be tough to undo and what is worrisome is the younger generation. They've been brainwashed by the media and the liberal education establishment and polls show that they tend to be much more sympathetic towards gay marriage than the generations before them. If that trend continues among young folks our defenses will be weakened as the older folks like me age out and waves of NEA trained homofriendly people continue to become a larger part of the electorate.

THe only hope is that the Governor can get his spine back to the straightened position and not bent backwards kissing his own butt.

Baldacci signs gay marriage into law.

Time to put up a new thread with this as the lead. I don’t have the heart to do it.

Obama does not support same-sex marriage.

Why then does the MSM call conservatives who are against same-sex marriage, bigots and homophobes?

If conservatives are bigots and homophobes for opposing same-sex marriage, then that would make Obama a bigot and a homophobe for opposing same sex marriage, too.

Time to call Obama a bigot and a homophobe, too (sarcastically of course, and with a bit of irony added in).

Flush him, fellow Dem and the MSM out on this.

And, why does Obama hate gay people? /sarc.

“Gay Marriage” in this country is a done deal. I don’t believe this horse will go back in the barn in my lifetime. The weeds from the 60’s that infested our schools are propagating themselves all over subsequent generations and anyone opposing this or any one of dozens of formerly abhorrent views will be overwhelmed by numbers.

The Baldacci Administration is somewhat sexually ambiguous in that not even a chicken farmer with a 500-Watt bulb can often venture a sound guess as to the sex of his androgynous bureaucraps.

I suppose we should be grateful that the former bus boy has not OK'd inter-species marriage. And BTW, try to avoid phrases like,

You're a bit behind:
when discussing the gay marriage law. This is a family site.

“The Maine Senate voted 21-13, with one absent, for a bill that authorizes marriage between any two people rather than between one man and one woman, as state law currently allows. The House had passed the bill Tuesday.”

Great, Father/Daughter, Mother/Son, anything goes in Maine.

Farm animals will be included next week!

You are not well versed in the local jargon.

Maine Homosexual:
(1) a person who socializes with the opposite sex rather than hunt moose.
(2) a man who becomes a lumberjack after leaving Bowdoin.
(3) Any member of the Governor's Staff

Reminds me of a joke about the two Alaskan loggers and the cardboard cutout of a woman that one of them bought for "company."

Ah yes! The famous Nampsha Sense of Humah. You have to be theah, or it don't make sense.
