Work Begins to Bring Marriage to All Maine Families

By Staff On June 29, 2011 · 5 Comments

For the past year and a half, EqualityMaine and GLAD have been focused on moving Mainers to be more supportive of marriage for gay and lesbian people. Since March, we’ve had one-on-one conversations with more than 20,000 Mainers about marriage; we’ve already changed a lot of minds and we’re changing more every day.

Now, after extensive conversation and consultation, with you – our members – we are excited to take the next step in the campaign to win marriage for all Mainers.

We intend to ask Mainers at the ballot in November 2012 to support marriage equality – and we believe that Maine people will do so. The process of winning the freedom to marry begins today with the submission of proposed ballot language to the Maine Secretary of State.

We are committed to winning marriage for same-sex couples in our state, but there’s much more work to be done and we cannot do it without your support. In order to win the freedom to marry:

Support the critical work needed to bring us to victory in November 2012 by making a donation of $50, $100 or $250.

And make a vow  to support marriage today!
