No On 1 Maine's New Ad Calls Claims of Harm to Children False

In a newly released ad, supporters of gay marriage in Maine have responded to allegations by opponents that gay marriage will harm children, calling the claims “not true.” Opponents of gay marriage in the Pine State have mounted a “people's veto” to repeal a gay marriage law approved by lawmakers in the spring. The National Organization for Marriage (NOM) and its partner, the Catholic Diocese of Portland, formed Stand for Marriage Maine to put the issue up for a vote in the state. NOM played a pivotal role in backing a successful ban on gay marriage in California last November. The group's first ad in Maine recycled arguments used during the California debate. The ad tells viewers that gay marriage will inevitably harm children. Full Story from On Top Magazine: http://ontopmag.com/article.aspx?id=4604&MediaType=1&Category=26
