A visit to Gay marriage
These past few months have made a new kind of history in Maine. Governor John Baldacci signed a bill legalizing gay marriage in the state of Maine. This makes Maine the fifth state to allow gay marriage. This is a follow up to my opinion piece on Gay civil union and Gay marriage. I was overwhelmed with joy when my best friend Tyler, who is Gay called me. He was yelling "Gay marriage is legal in Maine!" I was so happy just to hear him so happy. Even though he probably won't be married for a long time it was still amazing to hear the happiness in his voice. I couldn't believe that the law passed. I mean look at our state we have the manly men and the farmers not to point fingers but the truth is most of these people are homophobic. But all I can say is I am very proud of Maine for not being a prejudice state anymore.
