Maine Mellowing To Gay Rights

http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/05/050305maine.htm

An attempt by Christian conservatives to overturn Maine's new LGBT civil rights protections will fail a new poll of likely voters shows.

The Market Decisions survey indicates that 60 percent support the new law, signed by Gov. John Baldacci on March 31. (story)

The legislation makes it illegal to discriminate based on sexual orientation or gender identity in the areas of employment, housing, credit, public accommodations and education.

thanks to all of our Maine brethren!
