Anti-gay group in Maine runs out of cash and volunteers
”We’re pulling the plug…. [Volunteers] don’t want to be aligned with bigotry and homophobia and hatred.”
Michael Heath, executive director of the evangelical group, Christian Civic League of Maine. Heath’s initiative was designed to repeal all rights, protections, and benefits afforded to gays and lesbians. Reportedly, Heath’s group had only collected 5,000 of the 55,000 valid signatures needed to send their proposal to the state Legislature. Two other similar separate efforts are still underway.
