equal rights for all Mainers

The mission of Equality Maine “is to protect and advance full equality for all lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer Mainers by creating an inclusive and intersectional movement through political action, community building, education, engagement and collaboration.”

A majority of Maine voters legalized marriage equality in 2012. The initiative, known as Question 1, passed by a margin of 53% to 47%. Maine was the eighth U.S. state to legalize same-sex marriage, and one of the first to pass it by popular vote. This was in part due to our tireless work of our volunteers and lobbyists having conversations with people all over Maine!
