Very disappointing what happened in Maine yesterday. Living in Iowa we're expecting a push to amend the Constitution to define marriage as one man and one woman. We're fortunate the process will take a couple years but personally I'm not very optimistic.
It's nice to see that between you and PZ the poll has been swayed, now 53 to 19%, but it does not change reality. Sigh.

I've never understood the argument against same-sex marriage. I know it's a thing with certain religions.
But same-sex marriage means increasing the pool of people who will apply for marriage licenses, right? And who will then perform a marriage in your state. So more $$ to caterers, printers (invitations), clergy/churches to perform the ceremony (or to the city, if your religion refuses a same-sex marriage), etc.
Later, if the happy couple splits up, that's even more $$ to divorce lawyers.
By saying NO to same-sex marriage means you're basically saying NO to increasing business in your state. Republicans are against this???
And I don't get the argument that same-sex marriage somehow "damages" the strength or importance of marriage. The divorce rate in the U.S. is about 1 in 2. And it's worse for 2nd and 3rd marriages.

Oh Goody! Poll fornication! Looks like someone is angry at normal Americans voting against the sodomites. This just goes to prove that normal people stiull exist in America. The nation hasn't gone totally all to hell just yet. There is a sliver of hope that leftist hippy marxism might be killed one day and the nation return to normal.
Good job Maine! Keep being normal and you'll prosper, don;t go down the Sodom road.
Give my regards to the poll fornicators at pharyngula.

Yup, Michigan passed restriction on same sex marriage about six years ago and we are rolling in the bucks. (I don't know the emoticon for sarcasm.)
