Maine joins MA, CT and VT in legalizing same sex marriage.

Maine becomes 5th state to approve gay marriage

Maine�s Democratic governor, John Baldacci, has signed a recently passed bill approving gay marriage, making it the fifth state to approve the practice, the Associated Press reports.

New Hampshire legislators are also poised to send a gay marriage bill to their governor, who hasn�t indicated whether he�ll sign it. If he does, Rhode Island would be New England's sole holdout, the AP notes.

Congratulations Maine! C'mon NH! Oh, and New England IS the most progressive region of the country.

10. ah, the old stand by of 'but i have gay friends'

and what on earth does it mean that you're friendly with them as long as they know where you stand and respect that? do you honestly think that they are out trying to recruit people?

oh, and a question for you. when did you chose to be heterosexual?

3. Sometimes I Wish NE Could Secede

It would be like Canada, with better beaches and worse banks. But them I'm not sure if we'd be allowed to eat barbecue.

So many things to think about.

4. I'm with you on that!

I don't think I'd ever want to live in another part of the country because NE is so progressive. And we could still eat barbecue. There are actually some decent barbecue joints around here. (Ever go to Redbone's in Somerville, MA? :9 )

9. Love Redbones - Best Ribs Around!

But I prefer Blue Ribbon for pulled pork, brisket, and burnt ends.

It's all good...

11. Not a barbeque fan but I love my home in New England.

But nice to know there is a haven in the midwestern region. Way to go, Iowa! (And I'm straight for what that's worth.)
