I can't figure out the fear factor, when thinking about voters in referendums on gay rights issues. I'm a midwesterner, from Missouri, and it just seems so clear to me that the issue of equal rights for gays and lesbians is a slam dunk issue.
If the people (sheeple) of a state can be so easily led, by unseen forces behind the scenes, with unlimited amounts of money to craft their bigoted messages, then the only thing left to do is to boycott the state, and do whatever we can to make the economic impact felt.
With Maine, it may be difficult, but the state deserves to be shunned for their 19th century thinking, nonetheless.

stop participating in these insulting "begging for rights" shams. Boycott the referendums - get the same results, save money, and make the bogeyman the proccess of voting on rights by NOT competing with these phobics as equal sides to a question.
Change the subject. Find wedge issues that hit these people in the same spot. Make referendums they need to spend millions to defeat. See how they like it. The left is not using this referendum nonsense to it's own advantage - calls for ending corporate personhood for instance.
