Today marks the launch of a campaign for marriage equality in Maine!

Along with the campaign to get the question on the ballot for 2012, there is also a new website- http://www.whymarriagemattersmaine.com/.  This new site answers questions about gay marriage, highlights the stories of Mainers, both gay and straight (and gives you the opportunity to add your own), and provides details on how you can get involved to secure marriage equality for all Mainers!

“We’ve changed hearts and minds during ‘No on One,’ and since then, many more Mainers have changed their hearts and continue to change their minds,” said Betsy Smith, Executive Director of EqualityMaine  in a press release this morning.

Matt McTighe from Gay & Lesbian Advocates & Defenders (GLAD) continued, "We believe there's strong support for marriage in Maine. We believe that all families deserve the right to marry. The longer we wait, the longer we delay this right of loving and committed couples to marry."

Check out their page, sign the pledge, and get on board for marriage equality!
