As it stands, Baldacci's bill would not require voter approval at referendum.

Now we can't vote on this issue???!!!
When constituents can't vote on an issue, and the bills are pushed down our throats, I ask "Just what COUNTRY" are we living in?
See? The lawmakers promise us the moon just to get our votes. But once in office, they could care less about us!!

what rights do people who practice a certain kind of sex need that the rest of the citizens don't already have?

if you don't like, why don't you do something about it? something about your tag line tells me you've been affected by the venom of defeatism.

I guess they want to visibility show their love out in the open, and very straight people don't want to see that on the streets, so the gays get bashed.
I guess this bill is going to put anyone in jail that lays a finger on a gay person.

"a gay rights bill he said would, besides prohibit discrimination against gays and lesbians, improve Maine's economy" "Our economy sucks said Baldassi. This bill would fix things so our economy would not suck."

In jail, they will feel like they have died and gone to heaven. Sort of like Muhammed and his 32 virgins. It's a win/win!
It's better to stay in the closet, I'd say.

Excuse me? And something about YOUR handle tells ME that I want no part of it touching ME. How dare you criticize my tagline! That alone tells me that you aren't up on what has been going on around the world and especially right here in the United States. You better start reading up HAND!
Just where are you from, anyway. This is a Maine Issue.
And how can we DO anything about IT if we aren't even allowed to VOTE on it!
What did I do? Touch a NERVE?

Homosexual Agenda Ping.
More FORCED perversion.
The citizens of Maine need to put pressure on their elected officials and let them know they better vote NO on this legislation if they intend to keep their jobs. Its the only thing that works.
If you want on/off the ping list see my profile page.

Exactly. He forced a smoking ban state wide on private business's but now he is forcing a bill down our throats to give gays protection. It will be "good for business," he states. Go figure!
Baldy is nothing but a little puke.

"Our economy sucks said Baldassi. This bill would fix things so our economy would not suck." I KNOW it! How does he figure this bill will help our economy? He already brought in over 1,200 Somali's to Lewiston, Maine, and over HALF of them are living off of our welfare system.
He is going off half cocked with this one, that's for sure.

That's the way it's supposed to work. If you don't want this bill, write your elected rep and tell him/her so. If they vote for it anyway, work to put him/her on the unemployment line.

People who enjoy shocking others are bullies. It is 'shoving it down our throats,' that's for sure. I know my hubby and I didn't openly kiss and fondle each other outside the house!

"I know my hubby and I didn't openly kiss and fondle each other outside the house!" I tend to think that the overwhelming number of people in love would rather have intimacy and privacy. There are some who seem to want to be a little more public. I think of this as more exhibitionism than romance. And I think that the gays and lesbians who want to draw attention to themselves in public by kissing and fondling are more exhibitionist than committed partners. But, I could be wrong.
