Really, Maine?

Well, it looks like Maine’s Question 1 passed with 53% of the vote. I have to say, Maine, I’m disappointed in you. I had so much hope when you were the first state to lift the ban on same-sex marriage through the legislature rather than the courts. But no.

This would be so much easier to stomach if I had ever heard a single coherent reason why there’s any downside to legal same-sex marriage. At all. (And no, “it’s just icky to me” does not count.)
