TODAY: Maine House Vote Today, WILL PASS Gay Marriage

mainemap

After a same-sex marriage bill passed Maine’s Senate 21-14, the House takes up the bill today. Live video here. Continuing coverage here. Still no official word from Democratic Gov. John Baldacci on whether he’ll sign it if it hits his desk. But we’re expecting smooth sailing today, since the House bill has some 60 co-sponsors. NBC WCSH: “Marc Mutty of the Catholic Diocese of Portland said he and other opponents haven’t lobbied the house very aggressively, so he believes the vote is a ‘wild card.’”

The District of Columbia is voting today as well. It’s the final vote to recognize marriages from other jurisdictions. The hearing starts at 11am. Live hearing: http://www.dccouncil.washingto.....earinglive

Yay for Maine! And if California & New Hampshire bring us more good news in the coming weeks, we’ll be up to 7 states with full marriage equality. And if New Jersey & New York can get to it later this year, we’ll be at 9! :-D

The DC City Council just passed the same-sex marriage bill! All councilmembers voted yes, except crazy Barry.
