ROCKPORT — While the Christian Civic League of Maine gathers signatures seeking to force a vote to remove equal rights protections for Maine's gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender citizens, a group called Equality Maine is spreading the word against the proposal.

Lucie Bauer of Rockport, a member of Equality Maine, was at the polls Tuesday, June 10, to inform residents of the possibility that a vote on this matter could be coming up. She also asked people to sign a pledge to vote against anti gay, lesbian, bi-sexual or transgender initiatives. Other members of Equality Maine were at 35 polling places around the state, that day.

The Christian Civic League of Maine has got to be the worst collection of homophobic bigots you'll ever find anywhere. I know from experience. I was born and raised there. I left Maine over 30 years ago and haven't looked back.
