Every court that has looked at same-sex marriage has ruled that it's unconstitutional to discriminate against us. No civil or minority right has ever come from popular vote. We will win in the courts, and much sooner than most think. Prop.8 is headed to federal court in January.

For me at least, the more things like this happen, I am finding myself even more vigilant to get gay marriage completely legal throughout the entire US. I was pretty passive on the subject before Prop 8. Living in CA at the time, I saw first-hand, the evilness of the supporters of Prop 8, which made me get involved in fighting to keep same-sex marriage legal in CA. After Prop 8 won, I got even more involved, and now, after Question 1 in Maine, I feel myself even more determined to help get this done for the LGBT community. Yeah, I was bummed a bit after CA and ME, but defeats like Prop 8 and in Maine doesn't demoralize us, it just makes us even stronger! The tide is on our side, and we will get this completed! Now where are those donor names for NOM, and the petition signers for Referendum 71?! If you can boycott Pepsi, Disney, ABC, etc. ... we can do the same to businesses that support this type of bigotry! To all the bigots out there … we are far from giving up!
