I really don't understand why people get to vote on whether other human beings deserve equal rights or not.

For those of you who don't know, Maine was one of the very, VERY few states that legalized marriage for gays. And now there is a chance it could be repealed, depending on how people vote in a couple of weeks.

People of Maine: if you have any sense of decency, you know what to do. All human beings deserve the same rights as other humans.  Period.

Here's the website to the organization fighting for equal marriage rights:

Also, here are those videos I'm talking about. They explain the "traditional" Christian marriage quite clearly:

This first one is basically an overview on it:

The rest talk about the bibical verses discussing the status and role of women in the Christian religion, according to the New Testament.

(I can understand if you don't want to watch all of these, but the ones below take on the status of women in marriage according to Christianity specifically. The first 3 will probably suffice, though if you watch all of them, you'll see all my responses to Krazie316 on the issue. OF course, you don't have to watch all of this at once)
