Gay Marriage: Finally the People of Maine Are Heard

Question 1: Is marriage only between a man and woman? Or, can marriage be between two people of the same gender?

How would you vote?

Tonight, the voice of Maine echoed the voice of States around the country: "Marriage is only between a man and woman." In a 53% to 47% win, Mainers defended the institution of marriage.

We see yet again that the will of the people across the United States is to preserve marriage. Every time citizens of a State have voted on marriage, they have voted in favor of marriage between a man and woman. Even in an election like this--in a blue State and being outspent by the pro-homosexuals--the people stand for traditional marriage. Only in the courts or legislatures has gay marriage passed.

Earlier this year the Maine legislature passed, and the governor signed, a same-sex marriage bill. However, through the referendum process, Mainers got enough signatures and put the the issue up for a vote by the people. Tonight Mainers vetoed the legislature. And like other States, they preserved the God-ordained institution of marriage.
