12. Sure it did. If Obama and the Dems had come out (pun intended) strongly for marriage
equality, gotten rid of DODT, repealed DOMA - made marriage equality an issue of civil rights, it would have been easier to defend the Maine law.

Instead, we were given a lukewarm sentiment that things maybe should be a little different in this area but we don't want to upset anyone so let's not make a big deal out of it.

People who were "on the fence" would certainly not be brought to the correct side of this issue by such weak-ass "support." And they obviously were not in Maine.
