Maine Senate passes same-sex marriage bill

By Bernard Hibbitts (editor) and University of Pittsburgh School of Law students.

ADVERTISEMENTS
[JURIST] The Maine Senate voted 21-14 in favor of a bill that would allow same-sex marriage in the state. The vote split mainly along party lines, with only one Democrat voting against the measure. The bill will now go before the Maine House of Representatives on Tuesday, where it is expected to pass. The bill would then go before Governor John Baldacci, who has yet to take a public position on the issue. The vote came one day after the New Hampshire Senate voted 13-11 to approve a bill permitting same-sex marriage. The New Hampshire House of Representatives approved the bill in March by a vote of 186-179. Last month, Vermont became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage, joining Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Iowa.
