Will Maine Kill it's Gay Rights Law?

| | Comments (1)

AUGUSTA, Maine - After a weekend push to collect signatures for a people’s veto effort, opponents of Maine’s newly enacted gay rights law said Monday they’re not sure whether they’ve collected enough to force a statewide vote this November.

Campaign leaders including the Christian Civic League of Maine and the Maine Grassroots Coalition have until Tuesday to submit the signatures of at least 50,519 voters to the secretary of state’s office. [...]

The petitions seek to force a vote on the law that prohibits discrimination in employment, housing, education, credit and public accommodations based on sexual orientation. The law is similar to previous gay-rights legislation that voters rejected in 1998 and again in 2000. (source)

Think about that. They are trying to overturn a law that makes it illegal to fire people for being gay, or denying them a place to live because they are gay. And this is Christian? This is what they want society to be?

It’s amazing. I wonder if they ever really stop to think about what they are trying to do?
