Victory!

How sweet it is. To finally have a moral victory in all of the 31 states whom put it on the books to keep marriage defined between a man and a woman. Though how interesting it is how close the vote really was. Only 53%! It should have been much much higher than that! I mean, how far has our nation slid down the moral road of decay to not recognize the sacredness of marital union? Keep your civil union! Don't start calling a zebra a horse! As if the children of this day aren't confused enough already!
Gay marriage has now lost in every single state -- 31 in all -- in which it has been put to a popular vote. Gay-rights activists had hoped to buck that trend in Maine -- known for its liberal-minded electorate -- and mounted an energetic, well-financed campaign. With 87 percent of the precincts reporting, proponents of traditional marriage had 53 percent of the votes. "The institution of marriage has been preserved in Maine and across the nation," declared Frank Schubert, chief organizer for the winning side.

Addendum:
Well, the gay Judge overturned the vote of the people. Just like that. One man in a very powerful position, right before leaving office. For his last hoorah, said, yup, if you're gay, California should be another place to publish and practice your moral decay. And a great place to teach sexual ambiguity to children. NICE!

Apparently Massachusetts wants to repeal their gay marriage law due to the fact that schools are starting to teach about same-sex relationships.
