Maine GOP Still Officially Opposes Marriage Equality

Maine's Republican Party declared in its official platform that it does not support marriage equality, even though it has been in effect for a year.

The Maine Republican Party updated its platform over the weekend to reiterate its opposition to marriage equality, even though the state has had legal marriage rights for same-sex couples for more than a year.

In addition to declaring its aim to put an end to Common Core education standards, the state's GOP also said it viewed a marriage as strictly a union between one man and one woman, the Associated Press reports. The platform states that the family "is the foundation of a stable society, therefore the government should not interfere, but rather support and protect the integrity and rights of the family."
