I agree, why should gays want marriage equality, with rights and benefits of breeders? After all they have their own TV channel, what would they want with anything more!
..TRON: I sincerely HOPE you were using sarcazm?? Because with that LOGIC or lack there-of....Breeders have every other of the G-dammed 400 or so odd channels devoted specifically to THEIR NEEDS!

This Gay marriage law will be voted down. We need a new law that prohibits it from ever coming back. WE DO NOT WANT IT. What part of NO do the gays not get. Next they will want a law so they can marry their brother or sister or marry their mother or father Sick people 4 sure. GET THE HELL BACK IN THE CLOSETS AND STAY THERE
EXCUSE me Taxpoor - BUT HOW does Gays Getting Treated Equally and being Able to Marry the Consenting "non related" adult of thier choice affect you??? Seriously nitwit, how? PLEASE EXPLAIN...we're all ears....! Your STUPID comment about marrying your Brother or sister,mother,father SHOWS your TOTAL LACK of Education, ad Criticial thinking skills....most likely a GOP ..and home-schooled were you? YOU are Proof Positive of the Stupidity of the Americans!

Wow, reading alot of the comments - I see American's Intelligence level is LOW - really low. How come people think "religion" has anything to do with Civil Law..just goes to show how LITTLE people know about Civil Laws.... If you don't want Gay Marriage/or better yet..MARRIAGE EQUALITY - DON'T MARRY A GAY PERSON. HOW...someone,anyone.....please explain.....HOW does a GAY person marrying affect YOUR Marriage personally? HOW? ......NO ONE can ever answer it...without throwing Jesus or the Buy-Bull into it........What a disgrace America is...Voting on people's rights? What kind of crap is that......and WHY is it ONLY LGBT people's Rights get to be voted on in America 2009???? What a disappointment and total lack of Fairness America has turned out to be....at 49yrs old....I've come to see this country for what it really is...and it's NOTHING that I was brought up to beleive....."Liberty & Justrice for ALL" are just words, Empty meaningless words..that make America sound better then it actually is......shame shame! Well, If this passes..and LGBT Mainer's are denied Equality - I will NEVER go to Maine again and spend my Tax / tourism dollars.........I guess it's gonna have to come down to the Supreme Crt..and the 14th Ammendment being Implimented throughout America - just like it was with Loving Vs Virginia.........I honestly do NOT understand the Big Deal...about SHARING a word/and RIGHTS , and idea of being Committed to someone you love (consenting adults) .....and for those who keep using stupid arguments about marrying relatives or animals - GROW UP! LGBT Americans are DENIED over 1400 Federal RIGHTS via Marriage that Heterosexuals TAKE FOR GRANTED, and a few hundred states RIGHTS.....they are NOT given to you by the church, you get THOSE CIVIL RIGHTS from the state! Interesting how in this country - the supposed Land of Life,Liberty & the Pursuit of Happiness ...a Convicted Heterosexual Killer in Prison for Life CAN MARRY, and has MORE RIGHTS then a LGBT Tax PAYING LAW ABIDING Citizen!!! DISGRACEFUL!

Mr Mutty, NEVER Explains HOW allowing LGBT Tax Paying Citizens to be included in Civil Marriage - will affect heterosexual Marriages....? How Mr Mutty..? How will those str8 Marriages be affected.......No one ever answers that question....HOW Directly will your Marriage be affected..? Is Your marriage affected now by the 50% divorce rate? Does that make you want a Divorce? Seriously - Either PUT UP or SHUT UP......and lets include ALL Americans in Equality!

The MOST Pathetic part of ALL this...besides the Fact that for some reason, in America in 2009.....why is it that LGBT Americans RIGHTS "Get to be Voted on" by the public???? N other minority's Rights have been voted on by the public.....so WHY ONLY LGBT Citizens???? I Smell religious Persecution! Interesting how THEY (the supposed religious) are TRYING to play the Victim in all this....HUH???? The Saddest part of this..is ALL the Money $$$$$ USED to PREVENT Equality in MAINE & AMERICA......meanwhile, MORE Homelessness, MORE Job loss, MORE Health Insurance loss, MORE Foreclosures, Longer lines at Soup kitchens and Food banks that LACK Funding.......Meanwhile this fight for Equality, the American Ideal for ALL Citizens is Costing 100's of 1000's, if not Millions of dollars $$$ that could actually be USED to HELP people.!!!!!! Where are your priorities people? ...and Please, for the Love of God...someone,anyone...TELL me, Explain to us - HOW WILL ALLOWING COMMITTED LGBT CITIZENS MARRYING AFFECT YOUR MARRIAGE IN ANY WAY?? SERIOUSLY - HOW??? Let's hear it!!!

Excuse me Mr "Muddy" ...but LGBT Americans ARE Tax Paying Citizens MANY WITH CHILDREN and FAMILIES......LGBT Americans are NOT ALIENS....they are Our Fireman,Policemen,Drs,Nurses,teachers...mothers,fathers,brothers and sisters...OUR Family Members. LGBT Americans are NOT just thier sex lives sir.....just like heterosexuals are NOT just thier sex lives.....Marriage is a Commitment from the Heart & Soul...Interesting how LGBT Americans are FIGHTING for something so hard...something that Heterosexuals TAKE for GRANTED ie: Divorce,remarry,divorce,remarry etc etc.....there are Gay cpls wgho've been together 5,10-15,20yrs or more.....now thats commitment! There is NO Pre-requisite that Children Must be bred of married cpls..none! Also, you do NOT have to be religious to be married....you say:
The civil rights argument is nothing more than a slogan without substance. It is, in fact, deeply disrespectful of those who have been denied their true civil rights, like the right to vote or to practice their religious faith. ->> You sir have Obviously NEVER Read the writings of Corretta Scott King? ..or Julian Bond? Who are you to speak of thier perspecgtive on TRUE Civil Rights? Religious Faith is a CHOICE..yes a choice...being an LGBT citizen is NOT a choice...you are born that way....99.9% of Gay citzens ARE Born to Heterosexual parents. Why don't you worry about the Homeless,or Soup kitchens that need help and food, or about the 100's of Mainer's who will NEED assistance PAYING thier HEAT bills this winter? No, you are too busy feeding the monster of In-equality and religious Tyranny. Growing up in the 60's, I was raised to keep my religion to myself,and within my church....I do NOT wear it on my sleeve. Now go help the poor and STFU!
