Gay "Marriage" Certainly Loses in Maine, USA

(South African Catholic; c.f. LifeSiteNews.com (Catholic; Independent; Canadian) 04 / 11 | November / 2009)

Note by Marc Aupiais

We had feared we had called it a bit early, this morning, which is why we noted that the No vote could still win. However, the Yes vote has won, in Maine- something which is sure to please many Catholic and conservative activists and others, who support heterosexual definitions of marriage, and wanted the homosexual-"marriage" law in Maine repealed:


"AUGUSTA, Maine, November 4, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Maine voters handed true marriage supporters a major victory Tuesday night after rejecting a same-sex "marriage" law that the state government approved six months ago.

[...]

Same-sex "marriage" has now lost in all 31 states in which the question has been put to a popular vote. It is the second time citizens have rejected same-sex "marriage" even after its legalization: one year ago today, 52% of California voters also upheld traditional marriage, striking down an activist state Supreme Court ruling legalizing homosexual "marriage" in May. "
