"Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of an established religion tends to make the clergy unresponsive to their own people, and leads to corruption within religion itself. Erecting the "wall of separation between church and state," therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society." -Thomas Jefferson

It was a day of mourning for many of us in Maine. If you look at the results, the folks who live along the coast voted overwhelmingly to Protect Marriage Equality. However the religious zealots (who hate everyone) & less educated folks of western maine where taken in by the hateful commercials that were funded by the Catholic Church - don't forget that the Catholic Church supported Hitler. The ads were awful and filled with lies. FYI - it took the Supreme Court to legalize interracial marriage, and that didn't happen until 1967. Civil Rights should not be left up to the individual states or the voters, as they have shown us time and time again, they can not be trusted to do what is right and moral.
The Catholic Church poured close to a million dollars into this campaign - TIME TO TAX THE CHURCHES!!!!!!!!

I'm from a country where gay can marry and frankly the bigot majority has NO SAY when comes the time to deal with rights of a minority. Whatever bullshit the bigots will throw here, I don't want to hear about it. It's ABSOLUTELY unethical. The blacks didn't get their rights because they were a majority. The majority has nothing to do with it. Stay behind, USA. Stay Be-Hind. The Euro is already much stronger than your dollar, and gay marriage will be legal all over europa long before neanderthalian conservatives in america wake up to the beat.

31 states have voted and all of us turned down the very bizarre idea that American pop culture can overturn biology, evolution and the mind of the Creator.

I'm very sorry that your country has decided to allow what my father calls, "The Tyranny of the majority". Here in Canada we have gay marriage and we did not vote on it. Our government introduced the civil marriage act in 2005 and there just hasn't been the kind of objections here that you guys are having over there. I can't fathom why anyone would make it their mission to prevent another person's happiness, but I am incredibly grateful to live in a nation that can proudly say to the world, "Look, any kind of LOVE is a GOOD thing!!"

And listen, if you get too sick of all that oppression, by all means come to Canada, we're pretty cool up here!!!

Re: cookereh –

if they dont believe in it, then why dont they just turn the cheek and let live?? why do they have to take time out of their lives to vote for something that will negatively affect the lives of other human beings when it has NOTHING to do with them??

it seems to me that they have more than just a belief conflict for them to go out of their way to fuck somebody's life up like that…
