Maine's Anti-Gay Petition Drive Begins

Rev. Bob Emrich is telling news outlets that his group has distributed over 5000 petitions to repeal Maine's new marriage equality law. Just over 55,000 signatures are required to place the issue on the Maine ballot and Emrich is suggesting that Mainers host petition-signing open houses and parties. "Hey, folks! We're havin' a hate party! Y'all come on by."
