On May 6, 2009, the Governor of Maine signed the law ending discrimination in marriage for same-sex couples, but it is already being threatened.

Our fight to protect civil rights through marriage equality is just beginning.

Almost immediately, national opponents of equality declared they wanted to turn back the clock and are working tirelessly to place a measure on this November’s ballot –- modeled after California’s Prop 8 –- to take away the right of gay and lesbian couples to marry in Maine.

The national movement for civil rights is at a critical juncture on the issue of marriage equality. With California’s Prop 8 still in force, Maine is becoming the new national battleground for marriage equality. That’s because our opposition knows that Maine is on a different course. When this referendum goes to the ballot in November, Maine could become the first state to successfully defend marriage equality by a popular vote.

We are going to make history, but we need your help.

Please, learn more about why Maine is in the national spotlight of the movement for marriage equality by joining our historic campaign today.
