Today is yet another sad day as 53% of State of Maine voted to RAPE the CIVIL RIGHTS from recognition of same sex marriage and all rights there in.  This is after Legislatures AND the Governor of Maine signed into law the fundamental right for someone like myself to be able to marry the person I love (which would so happen to be a man!) and be able to provide for and receive health benefits and SIMPLE benefits like… say, if I got hospitalized, my partner would NOT be recognized as a “member of the family” and wouldn’t be able to make decisions on my behalf if I were unable to!

It’s just tragic that over a couple hundred years ago, even one of our Founding Fathers of this nation, Thomas Jefferson stated:

“All too, will bear in mind this sacred principle, that though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail, that will to be rightful must be reasonable; that the minority possess their equal rights, which equal law must protect, and to violate would be oppression.”

Funny how the ideas of those who drafted these very constitutional rights knew what Civil Rights CANNOT be impinged upon…  Today, the nation spoke loud and it screams that we are condoning hate, bigotry, and free will to violenty rape and strip certain people of civil rights.

… Today is yet another sad day…  In this given moment, I am sure our loving God is ashamed of those who claim to speak out on his behalf to practice oppression!!!

These are not personal liberties.  These are human rights!!!
