Regardless of the public opinion of my home state. I do truly love Maine. I love the trees, the ocean, the people. However, the decision on Maine's part to forgo equal rights for Gays in the marriage equation makes me deeply sad. How can we as a state, one that is incredibly welcoming (or so we thought), dictate the equality of a societal sect that is so important to our prosperity as a tourism location. Equality is something every one deserves. And I can honestly say that I am incredibly embarrassed of my home state, town, and people. I only hope the results change by the time I wake up tomorrow.
