Here's Hoping GLBT Travelers Continue to Visit Maine

Wednesday November 4, 2009
Upset that gay marriage was repealed by Maine voters (albeit by a narrow margin)? My advice: go to Maine, spend your money, enjoy one of America's most beautiful states, make your presence known as gay and lesbian travelers. The key demographic that enabled this repeal to pass is fading, passing on, losing influence, becoming increasingly irrelevant. Had a similar vote been held in other states with gay marriage, it's quite possible the results would have been similar. History is on the side of basic human rights. The disappointing outcome of yesterday's election is a small bump in a long road.

Here's a gallery about one of my favorite Maine towns, Ogunquit.
