What’s your reaction to the reversal of same-sex marriage rights in Maine?

“Unfortunately, there does seem to be a great silent majority of Americans out there who aren’t ready for same-sex marriages yet. It’s sad but not surprising, considering how California handled the issue.”

“I’m not focused on the movement for gay marriage. If there could be civil unions offering equivalent rights, that’s fine. I don’t really care about the word ‘marriage.’ I wouldn’t spin my wheels fighting for the word. I’d spin my wheels fighting for the rights.”

“I’m disappointed because it’s a civil right that shouldn’t be denied. This country is based on freedom of beliefs and freedom of choice. I understand where the opponents [to same-sex marriage] are coming from. I’m not questioning their sincerity. But I disagree with them. They’re wrong.”

“We should treat everyone fairly. I think the LGBT community should push for a federal court ruling extending same-sex-marriage rights to everyone, rather than having these individual state battles. It should be legal everywhere in the country.”
