Heart Breaking News

I am so heartbroken right now by the amount of closed mindedness that exists in Maine. The results of the election are in and people across my home state have denied their fellow men and women their rights. I never would have guessed in a million years that the people living in my state could do that to someone, anyone. We entered the union a free state during the time of slavery. I can't believe that a state like mine, a historically free, accepting state could turn its back on the gay community. It isn't like they were asking for much. Just the right to marry. Just the right to love anyway they want to. Just the right to the pursuit of happiness, that right the founding father's gave us when they wrote our constitution. I must wonder if they knew we would be arguing over that right in the distant future. We ended slavery hundreds of years ago. We have been working to put an end to discrimination and injustice ever since then. There is nothing right about today. There is nothing right about ignorance and closed mindedness.
