A proposal to repeal Maine´s newly enacted gay rights legislation is ready for circulation by petitioners opposed to the pending law, state elections officials indicated Wednesday.
If anti-gay rights referendum organizers gather sufficient petition signatures by June 28, statewide voters would be asked: "Do you want to reject the new law that would protect people from discrimination in employment, housing, education, public accommodations and credit based on their sexual orientation?"

Deputy Secretary of State Julie Flynn wrote to Michael Heath, executive director of the Maine Christian Civic League, on Wednesday, detailing the ballot question language being suggested. Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap said the group has accepted the wording of the question.

In other words, do you want to be a bigoted asshole?

Love it!

1. With the current bigotry so blatant, I wonder how many ballot

referendums we could get approved if we stipped them under the radar?

Wording such as "...make it a crime to base any laws or regulations on Muslim, Hindu or other religious grounds........"

I can see plenty of these wingnuts jumping right on the bandwagon and signing up to "protect us 'Murkins".
