Governor John Baldacci of Maine, signed into law a bill legalizing gay marriage.
The move declares Maine as the fifth state to allow gay marriage. Other states that have already followed suit are Iowa, Vermont, Massachusetts and D.C.
The state of California use to be apart of marriage equality, until a few naysayers decided to engage Prop 8 and reverse the law; currently activists are hard at work to change the discriminatory bill.
After California passed its gay marriage law, previously I had written an article commenting that the law was only passed for state officials and businesses to increase revenue -- therefore, digging the state out of a debt hole. I was adamant that LGBT couples should keep weddings small, just in case the law was overturned.
California lawmakers understood that gay marriage would generate a lot of money, and I urged people to not spend a dime just yet. However, California gained that revenue and in the end gay marriage was still revoked -- breaking the hearts of many loving couples
