Abstract
Maine and New Hampshire are the only New England states not to include sexual orientation in their human rights acts. A gay rights bill was passed by both houses of the Maine Legislature in 1993, but then-governor John McKernan vetoed it. Supporters of this year's bill, filed by state senator Dale McCormick, are poised to withdraw it, a move some supporters say is necessary in the wake of November's divisive battle over referendum Question One. A bill filed by state senator Georgette Berube makes a distinction between orientation and behavior, and gay rights supporters think withdrawing the McCormick bill without doing the same to the Berube bill would be a big mistake. Details.
