: Dispatches from the Culture WarsMaine Votes for Same Sex Marriage
By Ed Brayton
The state of Maine has joined much of the rest of New England in allowing gays and lesbians to get married. The legislature passed it and the governor signed it shortly afterward. It's really tragic, all those heterosexual marriages in that state suddenly losing their "sanctity" (whatever the hell that is). Won't someone think of the box turtles?
New Hampshire is also about to pass it, though the governor there, a Democrat, hasn't said whether he would sign it or not. The tide is turning, folks. Another state passing it without a court order. And somewhere, Orson Scott Card's head is exploding.
