Maine gives final OK to gay rights bill

Gay-rights measure endorsed by House
Democratic lawmakers Said it is not up to the majority to decide
what rights the minority has in Maine. They referred to the struggle
for civil rights, and asked whether African-Americans would have the
rights they have today if the decision had been left up to voters.

The Christian Civic League 's executive director, Michael Heath, has
said he is willing to lead a campaign against the measure. But the
league will not announce what it has decided to do until Thursday.

(3/15/2004) Hunt for gay Maine legislators backfires
conservative lobbyist Michael Heath who attempted to "out" suspected
gay state legislators found himself out of work yesterday, suspended
from his duties as executive director of the Christian Civic League of Maine.
I guess he is off his suspension.
