Today the state of Maine Legislature gave their approval of gay marriage. Although there were enough votes to pass the measure, there were not enough to override the "undecided" Gov. John Baldacci, who has 10 days to take action on the bill, if he chooses to veto. However, if he signs it into law, Maine would join Massachusetts, Iowa, Connecticut and Vermont.
The decision of California's Prop 8 still is in the hands of the state's supreme court. Chatter among Prop 8 internet groups suggest that the announcement is either coming tomorrow or next Monday.
UPDATE: Governor John Baldacci signed the bill into law.
