Maine Legislature Lets Marriage Equality Question Proceed To Voters | Today, the Maine House of Representatives elected not to approve proposed marriage equality legislation, allows the initiative to proceed to the voters. According to a poll released last week, 54 percent of Maine voters support legalizing same-sex marriage. This initiative will be the first time voters in any state have the opportunity to approve marriage equality at the ballot, as opposed to the many measures that have banned it.
