Opposing Religious Coalitions Active On Maine's Same-Sex Marriage Ballot Issue

Yesterday' Bangor (ME) Daily News reports on religious coalitions on opposing sides of Maine's Question 1-- a referendum on the November ballot that would overturn a law passed earlier this year permitting same-sex couples to marry. (See prior posting.) The Religious Coalition for the Freedom to Marry in Maine held rallies around the state on Sunday to urge a "No" vote on Question 1. Rev. Bob Emrich, founder of the Maine Jeremiah Project which opposes same-sex marriage and urges a "yes" vote on the referendum, says the issue is not discrimination, but redefining marriage.
