Over the past year, voters have stripped away marriage rights in California and Maine. And the California Supreme Court failed in its obligation to protect our fundamental freedom to marry. So now what?

If experiences in California are any measure, LGBT residents of Maine can expect higher levels of stress and depression and greater feelings of political alienation. So what can we do differently?

Dear Maggie: I was shocked and dismayed to hear yesterday that your lead spokeswoman has starred in a sex video. Are you going to fire Carrie Prejean? Donald Trump did.

It's being reported that former Miss California Carrie Prejean has settled her lawsuit without pocketing any of the over $1 million dollars she had requested. The reason? Sex tape.

Religious right professionals are using religion as an excuse to perpetrate lies and deception. That's what happened in California and that's what is now underway in Maine.

We claim to be the freest, and the best, yet all of our citizens do not have equal rights. Tell the couple who have been together for 15 years that can't adopt a child that we live in the best country in the world.
