Maine Votes Down Marriage Equality 52% - 47% Our battle is not over!

It took 144 years for women to get the right to vote! Only 13 states passed a Women’s Suffrage ballot imitative, but some of those took multiply attempts before they passed, in Oregon, it took six attempts before it passed. However, 16 states did not pass the Women’s Suffrage voter initiatives.

Human Rights should not be subject a popular vote! The LGBT population is only about 5% of the population, but 47% of the people came out to vote in favor of the basic Human Right to be able to marry the person that you love. I do not think that Human Rights be at the whim of the majority.

We will be back next year, and the year after that, no matter how long it will take. I hope that it does not take as long as it took to get women suffrage... but we shall prevail in the end!
