With less than 24 hours to go, the push is on in Maine to protect the rights of LGBT families. Maine is the only state to grant same-sex couples the right to marry by legislative process. Signed into law by Governor John Baldacci in May, the haters from the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) immediately launched an attack lead by head gnome Maggie Gallagher. The all-out effort, funded heavily by the Catholic Church, to put civil rights up to a vote, resulted in Question 1. With a "No" vote signifying support for marriage equality, by all accounts, there is a razor thin margin of victory for either side.
MSNBC sums it up.
