A People’s Veto, in the form of Question 1 on November’s ballot,
ensures that voters, not politicians, have the right to decide whether
same-sex marriage will be legalized in Maine.
Question 1 is about preserving marriage; it’s not an attack on the gay
lifestyle. It doesn’t take away any rights or benefits from gay or
lesbian partners who are covered by Maine’s domestic partner laws.
Without Question 1, teachers will be required to teach young children
that there is no difference between homosexual marriage and traditional
marriage and parents will lose control over what their kids learn in
school about marriage and sexual orientation.
More than 100,000 Mainers signed the petition to place this People’s
Veto on the November ballot as Question 1 to repeal the recent same-sex
marriage proposal (LD 1020) passed by Maine’s legislature.
