Can we win this time??
AUGUSTA, Maine — Maine’s Secretary of State approved language Wednesday
for a citizen’s initiative that would ask Mainers once again if they want
to allow same-sex couples to marry.
A coalition of same-sex marriage advocates is set to begin gathering
signatures as early as this weekend. If that effort is successful, Maine
voters would be asked next November to support or reject: An Act to Allow
Marriage Licenses for Same-Sex Couples and Protect Religious Freedom.
“I’m grateful to Secretary of State Summers for promptly approving the
language of the proposed law to let same-sex couples marry in Maine,” said
Pastor Michael Gray of Old Orchard Beach United Methodist Church, one of six
original signers of the initiative petition. “As campaign volunteers fan
out across the state to collect signatures from their fellow Mainers I
expect they will encounter thousands of willing signers who have changed
their hearts and minds on marriage after getting to know their gay and
lesbian neighbors, co-workers and community members — just as I have done.”
An Act to Allow Marriage Licenses for Same-Sex Couples and Protect Religious
Freedom as written would permit gay and lesbian couples to obtain licenses
to legally marry in Maine. It would not, however, require churches to
perform such marriages in violation of their religious teachings. |

spirit to fight. The probability is that you are going to win something
since there is not much in your hands to lose. |
