Get your ducks in a row and start screaming about this. Contact every paper and media outlet you can. We had interviews on CNN and Al Jazeera America and all local media was right in there. The people in our state would have none of this and if Kansas would have none of this I would wager you have a good reason to be optimistic in Maine.

Statewide organization for LGBT? If you are not a member or your friends are not members become members and help them fight this. You can beat this. Good luck, I will be watching and I will also write those legislators. Coming fresh from the fiasco in Kansas it might mean something.
