Marriage Equality Supporters Look to Maine
By Andrew Harmon
Marriage equality supporters in Maine are seeking to return to the ballot
box on the issue, less than two years after voters overturned a law granting
marriage rights to same-sex couples.
The Associated Press reports that EqualityMaine and Gay and Lesbian
Advocates and Defenders announced are beginning the process of gathering 57,
000 signatures to get the issue back on the ballot next year."We are going
voter by voter," EqualityMaine’s Betsy Smith said of planned marriage
equality field operations.
Matt McTighe, GLAD’s director of public education for Maine, said at a
Thursday joint news conference with EqualityMaine, "We believe there's
strong support for marriage in Maine. We believe that all families deserve
the right to marry. The longer we wait, the longer we delay this right of
loving and committed couples to marry.” | m******1 发帖数: 19713 | | g********d 发帖数: 4174 | 3 这种公投,我们可以输,他们必须赢。我们输了,只是时候未到,会赢的。他们输了,
就是时候到了,他们的杀手锏没了,该歇着了。 |
