Personally, I don't have any interest in the failed, oppressive, and violent hetero institution of marriage. However, I am sick of the bigoted mentality of the Christian Right nutjobs who use same sex marriage as an excuse to lash out at queers. So, I'm letting my money do my talking. Here's the text of an email I sent to Maine Tourism.
I was planning on taking a vacation in New England next summer. I really enjoyed going to Massachusetts, and I planned on exploring more of the region. I had even looked into museums and galleries in your state.
However, now that Maine voters have embraced vicious homophobic bigotry, I'm leaving Maine off of that trip. I don't want any of my gay dollars in the pockets of those crazy bigots who voted that way.

By the way, when I was looking for a photo or illustration for this post, I considered putting the words "Fuck Maine" in one of those online sign making sites. I got some
humorous results when I accidentally put them into a site that sells actual neon signs.
Enjoy!
yep - hit them in the only place they understand, the pocketbook.......
Good idea. I'll think of how they defeated marriage equality next summer, as I drive through Maine on my way to Nova Scotia - in a much more civilized nation. And thanks to your idea, I'll be packing food in a cooler so I don't spend nary a cent in that state.
"Personally, I don't have any interest in the failed, oppressive, and violent hetero institution of marriage" Agreed.
I like your email.
When I think of Maine, I think of the movie "Delores Claiborne". Cold, craggy, dank, and depressing - just like Maggie Gallagher.
