CBN - and here is their take on it:

PORTLAND, Maine -- Voters in Maine have dealt a blow to the gay rights movement. They've voted to repeal a law legalizing same sex marriage in the Pine Tree State.

When supporters of traditional marriage heard the news, they cheered and screamed for joy. Their push back against gay marriage in a very liberal state succeeded.

"Even here in a deep blue New England state, even here we can win on the marriage issue, because people care about it," the National Organization for Marriage's Brian Brown told CBN News.

...

"The most forceful argument that we repeated again and again was -- this will affect what your children are taught in school," Brown said.

4. They outspent the anti-gay marriage groups by a 2:1 margin!

It still wasn't enough to overcome the bigotry of 52.8% of the voters in the state.

2. Any & all 'traditional marriage' supporters who have been divorced

or had an extra-marital affair need to be called out on their hypocrisy. There are (probably) quite a few of these folks with such blemishes on their 'traditional' marriages.
