Most afraid of moral and Christian views about homosexuality, the advocates of homosexual rights hid behind claims of tolerance and fairness while they denied proponents of the veto the dignity of their deeply held convictions. Unfortunately, this is typical of media and money driven campaigns on social issues in America today. A decent and respectful consideration of the views of people who disagree with the politically correct, and wholly secular views, of the media elite is hard to find. This was certainly true during the people's veto. The people voted for the veto anyway.
Homosexual rights are wrong because homosexuality is morally wrong.
The law, if it mentions homosexuality at all, must condemn it, not condone it. People know that this is true. That simple message reached enough citizens to make the veto a success. It was the people of Maine who made it happen. It wasn't a vote for hate, as some opponents of the veto have asserted.
