Equal Marriage in Maine!

Today, Maine became the fifth state in the country to allow same-sex marriages! Four out of six New England states now have marriage equality.

Governor John Baldacci said of his decision to sign the equal marriage bill into law:

“In the past, I opposed gay marriage while supporting the idea of civil unions.  I have come to believe that this is a question of fairness and of equal protection under the law, and that a civil union is not equal to civil marriage.”

Well said, John.
