activism, lgbt, politics, religion Add commentsThe Maine House of Representatives has voted to grant same-sex couples the right to marry by a vote of 89-58. Last week the Maine Senate voted 21-14 for same-sex marriage as well.
A recent poll shows Maine voters are evenly split on the issue. And, while it remains unclear if Governor Baldacci would sign the bill should it reach his desk, he has suggested recently that he would favor the legislation.
