Maine In Fight Against Rights Rollback

Proposed: "Do you want to protect traditional marriage and eliminate special rights in Maine?"Maine did not achieve protections for gay people until March 2005, after which the wingnuts immediately forced a veto referendum in which the new law was upheld by a slim 55% majority.
Summary: The initiative would limit marriage to one man and one woman. It would forbid the establishment of civil unions and change adoption law so that only one person, or a married couple, may adopt. The measure would remove the designation "sexual orientation" from the Maine Human Rights Act and eliminate state funding for the Attorney General's civil rights teams.
