New England almost totally gay

Good news LGBT community: you will not have to move to Iowa after all. Bullet dodged. In fact, you can just now throw a dart at a map of New England and probably hit a state that will not only fully recognize you as citizens with equal rights, but will also give you access to cheap lobster and let you live in a small town that was featured in a short story Stephen King dashed off over a hectic, drunken weekend so he could pay his bar tab. Maine welcomes you and the gay marriage license fees you will undoubtedly be paying.

Maine Governor John Baldacci signed Wednesday into law a bill legalizing gay marriage in the state. The move makes Maine the fifth state to allow gay marriage.
...
"Article I in the Maine Constitution states that 'no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor be denied the equal protection of the laws, nor be denied the enjoyment of that person's civil rights or be discriminated against.'"

"This new law does not force any religion to recognize a marriage that falls outside of its beliefs. It does not require the church to perform any ceremony with which it disagrees. Instead, it reaffirms the separation of Church and State," Governor Baldacci said.

"It guarantees that Maine citizens will be treated equally under Maine's civil marriage laws, and that is the responsibility of government.

That's right God, if you want to punish the transgressors, you're going to have to take most of the original 13 colonies.
