Gay rights activists in Maine made history today, collecting mre than 30,000 signatures from voters who said they support the right of gays and lesbians to have equal access to marriage. 

Back in June, Equality Maine, the organization behind the postcard drive, set a goal of 10,000 signatures. No other marriage equality petition drive has ever gotten more than that. That Equality Maine was able to not only beak that record, but blow it out of the water, more than tripling their goal, is incredible, especially for a small state like Maine.

Could Maine be the next state to legalize gay marriage?
