As expected, opponents of equality, led by the National Organization for Marriage and the Catholic Church, petitioned to have those rights put to a vote by referendum. This film chronicles the final days of the on-the-ground campaign to protect marriage equality in Maine. The Democratic National Committee ignored the fight to protect marriage for all couples in Maine, neglecting to donate funds to the cause (even though they reportedly raised over a million dollars from gay donors in June of this year) or to mobilize potentially thousands of volunteers through its Organizing for America arm. The DNC even sent emails to voters in Maine urging them to help with Jon Corzine’s failed gubernatorial reelection in New Jersey, potentially diverting needed volunteers, but also showing that they deemed the fight for marriage equality unworthy of their attention. President Obama never acknowledged the NO ON ONE campaign. If marriage equality is to be fought for on a state-by-state basis, then our …

The root of the problem is religion
It’s pretty sad when I can marry someone when I have no interest in it, yet someone who has spent their life fighting for that right cannot.
@ElSeedyMinotaur That’s fine. I don’t care about any of that.
@DURound Yeah, you don’t upset me… ‘this isn’t my first rodeo’ but I do find you extraordinarily pompous and deserving of ridicule.
@ElSeedyMinotaur As the quote shows, I did not call you a bed wetter. But you are extraordinarily sensitive. Under most circumstances I would be inclined to apologize, even though I did nothing wrong. But as you have been continuously and repeatedly unkind and dishonest about me, I will not.
@DURound I will not discuss anything with you anymore, I will only correct you.
As my quote clearly shows you described me as a bed wetter.
You are a liar.
Descriptive.
@ElSeedyMinotaur, yes that is right. I never called anyone a bed wetter. As your quote shows.
Whether you said like a seal or seal like, it would still be your acting out on an effort to dehumanize. Which is an evil thing inside you.
@ElSeedyMinotaur, That is false. I never called you a bed wetter.
@DURound DURound @ElSeedyMinotaur, I have been online since you were probably still wetting the bed — as early as the 80’s before there even was a world wide web.
Hmm, I thought you’d never called anyone a bed-wetter?
Lie? Looks like it.
Should I have said you were ‘probably trained seal like?’
@DURound You were the one who called me a ‘bed-wetter’
I believe there’s a bed-wetter inside of you… BED WETTER, BEGONE!
(Are you healed?)
@ElSeedyMinotaur. You like to dehumanize people. It is an evil inside you.
@DURound You are a pompous jerk who is often wildly wrong.
You also respond LIKE a trained seal.
Descriptive? I think so.
@ElSeedyMinotaur Descriptive.
@DURound You told me that you had been using the internet since before I was wetting the bed… hmm… what would we call that?
@ElSeedyMinotaur, That might be a description or it might be a gratuitous insult. Fortunately, I have never called anyone a bedwetter.
@DURound What do you call calling some one a ‘bed wetter?’
@ElSeedyMinotaur, No, I am not like a trained seal. Comparing people to animals is dehumanizing. Something that you like to do.
@DURound You’re like a trained seal, aren’t you?
Notice I said ‘like’
I don’t like to ‘dehumanize’ others… like some bed-wetters we know.
@ElSeedyMinotaur Doesn’t matter if you do or do not have a problem discussing things. If you address me, I will reply.
@DURound: The key here is that I am not the one with a problem discussing anything… your repeated assertions that you will not discuss this are old and boring.
I will continue to correct your nonsense, since you will not discuss it with me you can’t very well ‘correct’ me on this issue, you refuse to discuss it. That’s why I propose that we just assume you’ve reminded me that we won’t be discussing it, since I will continue to correct your nonsense posts.
Thanks.
@ElSeedyMinotaur As I have said, when you do not make corrections but rather say things that are incorrect, I will respond to you. The key here, if you do not want to see responses, is to cease saying incorrect things. Then I will ignore what you say as a favor to you.
@DURound And all you have to do is ignore my corrections… i think that would be best at this point, thanks.
@ElSeedyMinotaur It may be boring to you, but if you respond to me, I will consider it reasonable to respond to you.
@ElSeedyMinotaur As you know, I do not need to know your age to have a problem with it. I do not even have to have a perception of your age to have a problem with it. All that has to happen is for me not to know your age to have a problem with it.
@DURound And as you know, you don’t know my age and your problem is with your perception of my age… this is really boring to repeat over and over.
