SAN FRANCISCO - Stunned and angry, national gay rights leaders Wednesday blamed scare-mongering ads — and President Barack Obama's lack of engagement — for a bitter election setback in Maine that could alter the dynamics for both sides in the gay-marriage debate.
Conservatives, in contrast, celebrated Maine voters' rejection of a law that would have allowed gay couples to wed, depicting it as a warning shot that should deter politicians in other states from pushing for same-sex marriage.
"Every time the citizens have voted on marriage, they have always sided with natural marriage," said Mathew Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel, a Florida-based Christian legal group. "Maine dramatically illustrates the will of the people, and politicians should wake up and listen."

I have never seen, heard of a black man (other then on t.v.) who supports homo-sexual behaviour, So Obama is in a tough spot, support the gays, lose face in the black community, come out against it, lose support from the looney left, so he does what all professional pols do, ignore, ignore, deny, deny, then when caught, apalogize

I'm sick of them pushing their views on the rest of the world. If you want rights that bad, move to Amsterdam - lots of gays there, and nobody cares.

Don't become gay knowing at that point you cannot get married, and then try to change it just becuase *you* think you are entitled to something. This country is turning into a bunch of whining babies and i'm tired of coddling people.

They already do have rights, it just isn't enough.

But..........
GAYs have the SAME RIGHTS to get married that any heterosexual has.

They have the RIGHT to marry a person of the opposite gender, just like you or me.
Why should they be given RIGHTS you or I don't have?

edit: I thought about this for a couple minutes......
Perhaps we should:
Give gays the right to get married,
and remove ALL Federal restrictions on Abortions.
In three Generations; problem solved.
No more LIBs.

Asking me?
nothing, it isn't "good enough" for them because it doesn't fit their agenda.......(dismantling the U.S.A.)

The funny thing is the people who made it legal in the first place did so against the will of the people. Their vote is only a veto which can (and most likely will) be overturned the next time the legislature is in session. Just another case of the public servants trying to cram things down the throats of their bosses.
