| Description | Two days, two gay marriage victories. Senators in Maine are following closely on the heels of the New Hampshire Senate in passing a gay marriage bill.
Portland's NBC affiliate, WCSH, is reporting the Maine Senate has passed Senator Dennis S. Damon's gay marriage bill on a 20 to 15 vote. The bill now moves to the House, which is adjourned until next Tuesday.
Tuesday, Maine's Judiciary Committee strongly recommended the House and Senate approve the measure. Eleven of the 14 members voted in favor of the bill, two voted against it and one, Republican Senator David Hastings of Fryeburg, wanted to send it to the voters. |
