UPDATE!!
So the original thread idea follows below, but new news is recorded at post http://uselessforums.com/showpost.php?p=647819&postcount=23
So on Tuesday, there are two major ballot issues, one in Maine and one in Washington state. The one in Maine is a referendum that will remove a law put into place already giving access to same-sex couples the right to marry. What was unusual about this is the governor and legislature voted this law into place, but it was the voters that very quickly put together a petition for the referendum and so the legislatures put a hold on the activation of the law before the outcome of the elections. Technically there have been no official Maine marriages of same-sex couples YET, but there will be none at all of this referendum passes.
In Washington, there is a domestic partnership bill "everything but marriage" that is being voted on as well.
If you know anyone in any of those states, please encourage them to vote No on issue 1 in Maine and Yes on Referendum 71 in Washington.
