Maine Referendum Certified: “An Act to Protect Marriage and Promote Equality”
The Maine Secretary of State approved, and the Christian Civic League of Maine accepted on May 12, the final text and title of a citizen-initiative petition that would not only strip the state of its laws prohibiting anti-gay discrimination but also ban gay marriage, civil unions, gay adoption and funding for civil rights teams (the Maine version of a gay-straight alliance) in public schools.
