Voters in
Maine have rejected an effort by lawmakers there to impose homosexual
"marriage" in that state.
Gay marriage
has now lost in every single state -- 31 in all -- in which it has
been put to a popular vote. Gay-rights activists had hoped to buck that trend
in Maine -- known for its liberal-minded electorate -- and
mounted an energetic, well-financed campaign. With 87 percent of the precincts
reporting, proponents of traditional marriage had 53 percent of the votes.
"The
institution of marriage has been preserved in Maine and across the
nation," declared Frank Schubert, chief organizer for the winning side.
(It is funny
that even states which are mostly to the left when it comes to politics have
rejected same sex marriage. I guess on this issue people are putting things
like family, faith, and tradition ahead of politics. Good for them. Read more
