Gay Marriage Fails Again
An interesting fact about gay marriage:
In an election that had been billed for weeks as too close to call, Maine’s often unpredictable voters repealed a state law Tuesday that would have allowed same-sex couples to wed. Gay marriage has now lost in all 31 states in which it has been put to a popular vote — a trend that the gay-rights movement had believed it could end in Maine.
“Today’s heartbreaking defeat unfortunately shows that lies and fear can still win at the ballot box,” said Rea Carey, executive director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.
I am not personally against gay marriage. However I find it interesting that Rea Carey says it is out of “fear” that the ballot initiative keeps failing. Maybe it is out of sincere belief that has nothing to do with fear? Nah.
