Davis and Dylan Riley Posted on Wednesday, November 4th, 2009, 12:50 am Stand for Marriage Maine declared victory around 12:30 a.m. Wednesday, saying that Question 1 has passed. Opponents of Question 1 did not concede, saying they will continue to count ballots as long as it takes to receive a definitive answer. “The institution of marriage has been preserved in Maine and across this nation,” said Frank Shubert, speaking for Yes on 1. “What the people of Maine had to say is that marriage matters, and that it’s between a man and a woman,” said Marc Mutty, chairman of Stand for Marriage Maine.

As someone who doesn't really side one way or the other on this issue I have to ask you, have you noticed how ALL, and I mean ALL, even the family rated shows on tv, all have a gay character. It's like Hollywood is shoving it in your face, whether you like it or not. ABC family has a show called Greek, and yes it has main characters who are openly gay. Brothers and Sisters, Desperate Housewives, Glee, Ugly Betty and just about every tv show has the token gay/lesbian character. Where do they get off with expecting everyone in the country to accept that lifestyle as normal?
Like I mentioned, I'm not offended by someone being gay/lesbian, but I don't find it entertaining to watch or a normal lifestyle and it angers me that Hollywood doesn't consider what some (probably most of the country) of us feel about this.

Hollywood is nothing but sleaze. I see those results for Dancing With The Stars and wonder how that can be so popular. If the women were not virtually naked I don't believe any one would watch it. They call it dancing but I call it showing off to music.
I am offended the way gays want everyone to accept their life style. I con't consider it normal and I will say so. I would be glad to leave them to their world but I don't want them in my face with what ever they do.
