I'm sorry, Maine. :(

53% should not be enough to overturn legislation. It just shouldn't. Even the student union at university requires two-thirds majority and they're not issuing civil rights.

53% is plenty enough to overturn legislation, but civil rights oughtn't be left to legislation.

i'm not happy about maine, but i'm even less happy about the discussion around the success in washington state where civil unions are now everything-but-marriage and i've seen talk of separate-but-equal being okay (uhm, no, No, NO: see Brown v. Board of Education, wherein SCOTUS lays the smack down on separate-but-equal).

i still think the solution is for government to get out of the "marriage" business and *only* grant "civil unions" which do nothing but granting domestic partner rights and whatnot, regardless of the genders, etc., involved in the parties entering into the union.
