The much maligned American people have voted for common sense in 31 States, they will never enslave themselves to "liberal" fascism.....British take note!

I now live in Maine and have seen at first hand the tactics being used to ensure that what you call common sense prevailed. A series of untruthful scaremongering adverts on TV, saying outright that this was a threat to marriage (why?), the sacking of a Catholic for standing up for her belief for equal rights for gays and the backing of quite a number of the religious organisations in the state.

To date no-one has been able to explain to me why same sex marriage is such a threat to the population as a whole. One advert even had the temerity to state that gays were to be 'tolerated'. Arrogant horseshit!

IMO this was passed because too many people put too much faith in what their religious leaders tell them, certainly in this country.
