AUGUSTA (AP) — Gay marriage opponents are speaking out against a referendum on the Nov. 6 ballot seeking to legalize same-sex marriage in Maine.
The No Special Rights political action committee was holding a rally Monday at the State House in Augusta in favor of traditional marriage.
Spokesman Paul Madore said the rally is an attempt to inform Maine voters on what he calls "the real dangers and the pure insanity" of gay marriage.
Madore says speakers at the event include directors from three out-of-state organizations that oppose same-sex marriage.
This is the second time in four years that Mainers will vote on gay marriage.
Voters in 2009 overturned a Maine law passed by the Legislature earlier in the year allowing same-sex marriage.

No special rights!
They are correct; there shouldn't be any special rights! EVERY COMMITTED LOVING COUPLE has the right to get married whether they are gay, straight, brown, blue, etc. We can’t allow just straight people the “Special Right” to get married. If gays getting married really had an adverse affect on the institution of marriage, we better start having them drink from separate water fountains! How about we just round up all them gay folk and ship 'em to an island, 'cause it ain't natural right? Seriously, if keeping two people that love each other and have made a life together from getting married is that big a deal to you, maybe it’s time to look inward and wonder what is wrong in your own life. So, I’ll say it again, “No Special Rights!”
