Religious Coalition Gathers in Maine to Support Gay Marriage

Faith leaders from the Religious Coalition for the Freedom to Marry in Maine gathered in Portland and Bangor on Thursday to support the state’s same-sex marriage law. Members of the coalition said only marriage equality confers full dignity and respect to loving and committed gay and lesbian couples. “Marriage creates and enhances stable, committed relationships and the sharing of economic resources and responsibility. Marriage nurtures the individual, the couple, and children,” Rabbi Darrah Lerner of Congregation Beth El in Bangor, said in a news release. “Good marriages benefit our communities and express our religious values of long-term commitment and faithfulness.” Full Story from Bangor Daily News: http://www.bangordailynews.com/detail/123352.html
