Response to the November 3, 2009 LGBTQ Referendum Results
A statement by Jim Sanders, Chair of the Socialit Party Queer Commission
Referendums effecting the lives of LGBTQ people were on ballots all over the country this week. A few of the higher profiled ballot questions included:
'''Voters in Maine''' overturned by approximately 53 to 47 percent, a law passed by the Maine legislature that established same-sex marriages in order to end marriage inequality in Maine. The failure to attain marriage equality in Maine is particularly disheartening, but the fact that 47 percent of the voters in Maine supported marriage equality is significant.
