EqualityMaine deserves recognition for helping change Maine’s marriage equality law, which was passed in 2012, a reader points out.
I was just reading through the April 29 30th anniversary issue of Mainebiz, and loved seeing all the Maine news milestones, looking back 30 years, wow!
While I appreciated the mention of the Maine’s historic marriage victory in 2012 (I was a proud volunteer), it would have been more accurate for EqualityMaine, not the Human Rights Commission, whose logo was featured, to be deservingly recognized. The effort included years and years of hard work, which included thousands of conversations with Mainers in every county. The result was becoming the first state in the country to vote for marriage equality in 2012.
