Children, on every measure of welfare, do best when raised by
their natural mother and father who are married.
Adults have the right to create and love the child.
The child has the right to love and be raised by the adults who created them.

One man.
One woman.

Maine4Marriage was established with the goal of informing Maine people about the consequences of the legalization of same-sex marriage. Maine4Marriage is a coalition of concerned Maine citizens committed to preserving traditional marriage in the state.
We believe that all Maine citizens are entitled to equal rights and respect regardless of their gender, race, creed or sexual orientation.
We further believe that the values exemplified in traditional marriage are optimally beneficial to society, and therefore do not believe that changing the definition of marriage to include same-sex couples is warranted or advisable.

And nothing, absolutely nothing, can provide the joy and growth that come from happy children who make a family circle. Throughout my life, I have answered to many titles, including doctor, captain, professor, and elder. But the titles I revere most are those of husband, father, and grandfather.
