See that picture right there? That's how my heart felt this morning when I woke up to discover that fifty-three percent of Maine voters chose to repeal a law legalizing gay marriage. To hear the chief organizer of Stand For Marriage say that the "institution of marriage has been preserved in Maine and across the nation" just makes my stomach drop.
As soon as this sadness clears, I know I'm going to be pissed off. Pissed off for the couples who had set their wedding dates, expecting to celebrate a victory for our side. Pissed off for what this says about our nation, when another state just openly rejected equality for all. I can already feel the anger bubbling up inside of me, so watch out for me today. I might snap.
