Protecting Marriage Equality in Maine
On November 3 Maine voters will determine whether the state’s hard-won marriage equality law passed in May will finally go into effect.
GLAD is committed to this fight, working with our coalition partners on public education efforts throughout the state to ensure all Maine families the security, protection, and respect they deserve.
GLAD Civil Rights Project Director Mary Bonauto has participated in several debates on Maine Question 1. You can watch clips from some of them here.
