Look Who Endorsed Us!

It’s been an incredible weekend for No on 1. Yesterday we saw that the Bangor Daily News endorsed us. It wasn’t something we were expecting, and something that was very exciting! And then today we found out that the Maine Sunday Telegram/Portland Press Herald also endorsed us. Again, not something we were sure of. Maine’s two largest newspapers have taken a stand in telling Maine voters to vote No on 1 this November.
 
According to the Bangor Daily, “Mainers have heard a lot in recent weeks about the consequences of allowing same-sex couples to marry, some of it accurate, some of it not. While such debate is healthy, this question boils down to a simple point: Everyone must be treated equally under the state and U.S. Constitution. Denying civil marriage rights to same-sex couples violates that tenet.”
 
And the Portland Press Herald said “Families led by same-sex partners are here now. They are part of our communities and they need and deserve the legal protections – as well as the dignity – that comes with civil marriage status.”
 
Both articles end with a strong and resounding “vote no on Question 1.” Thank you Portland Press Herald and Bangor Daily News!
