Maine Voters To Decide Fate Of Gay Civil Rights Law

http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/07/072905maine.htm

A fierce battle is shaping up over the future of Maine's civil rights law which protects gays, lesbians and the transgendered from discrimination.

Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap on Thursday announced that a conservative Christian group opposed to the law had gathered enough signatures to put the issue on the November ballot.

"Praise the Lord," said Tim Russell of the Christian Civic League of Maine. "Clearly, 56,650 signatures in 80 days is a big hill to climb, and we climbed it."
