Some of you may have noticed anti-gay ads showing up on our blog in the last couple weeks. It seems the anti-gay-marriage folks in Maine bought network-wide ads with one of our affiliates. I’ve mostly heard from people in Maine that they’ve been seeing the ad. We don’t have a lot of control over it, but even if we did I’d welcome their ads! For anti-gay forces to advertise on Outsports is a total waste of money, and if we can contribute to their wasting of money, I’m all for it!
The election is tomorrow and there’s still time to donate to the campaign! The Yes On 1 folks are pushing hard today to raise more money and to spend it today and tomorrow to swing this election. They are pushing deceptive TV and internet ads over the next 36 hours. If you can even give $10, it can help win! Please donate here today. And thank you!

The ads aren’t running on Google anymore. We must have run out their budget! Woohoo!!

Good Luck to everyone in Maine and here’s hoping the right result will prevail.
As I’ve said many times before - Canada has legalized same sex marriage and not only did the world not end but it had absolutely no effect on the lives of any hetrosexual couple or “marriage” itself.

It’s a sad day in Maine. Stand For Marriage’s fear-mongering strategy worked perfectly, stirring up the religious kooks and frightening the gullible into voting yes. However, we only lost by a 4% margin, a figure that bodes well for the future. In other words, they won the battle, but they won’t win the war. Someday, common sense will prevail, gay marriage will be legal, and Stand For Marriage’s so-called “victory” will be nothing but a pathetic footnote in history.
I just hope it happens in my lifetime…
