In a 21-13 vote, the Maine Senate voted to pass a same sex marriage law, becoming the 5th state in the Union to allow gay couples to marry. Governor John Baldacci, a democrat, had not indicated whether or not he would sign such a bill if presented with it but, today, he did. The governor had opposed gay marriage in the past but supported civil unions. So did the rest of the country, but things are changing. Way to go Governor Baldacci!!
New Hampshire has a same sex marriage bill on their Senate floor right now. Stay tuned. We may be announcing a sixth state!
OK One step at a time. We WILL get there!
