Today the Maine State Senate voted to pass LD 1020, the gay marriage bill in Maine. The bill passed by a narrow 20-15 vote and will now be sent to the House. At the same time, the senate rejected an amendment that would have brought the bill to popular vote in the state. Seems like state legislatures have seen the mess Prop 8 created in California and want to avoid that train wreck.
Maine recently held a highly attended public hearings to discuss gay marriage.
Maine is racing New Hampshire to become the fifth state to crawl out of the puritanical 50s.
