More and more queer and trans activists in Maine are finally speaking out against the parasitic campaign for gay marriage here in the pine tree state. During the last election in November 2009 any dissent around the issue, particularly why there was so much money being poured into a campaign that was not identified as a priority issue in numerous community needs assessments was met with deafening silence. In the following months after the election I embarked on a video project documenting first hand experiences of queer and trans activists from across the state who were critical of the issue from the start.
