Turnout is reported heavy in Maine, where voters are faced with a referendum on the marriage equality law passed last spring. ("No" on Question 1 means yes to keeping gay marriage.) State officials say voting is exceeding expectations, and over 100,000 absentee ballots have been filed. This is see ... More >>

In the wake of the Maine horror, there's been some way more appealing news. Governor David Paterson is including marriage equality in the sweeping November 10 session he is calling for, bringing gay marriage before the State Senate for approval! Or at least he will if no one blocks it, as th ... More >>
